SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN IN CLUB RUGBY
CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

 

INTRODUCTION

Rugby brings fun and enjoyment to thousands of young people each year. Moffat RFC is justifiably proud of the core
values that it imparts - teamwork, diversity, fairness, discipline, respect, personal courage, fun and enjoyment.

 

The coaches and supporters at Moffat RFC are volunteers who work hard to deliver programmes of rugby activity in
a conducive, family-friendly environment for boys and girls at various age groups and performance levels. Moffat
RFC is committed to providing a safe and positive, quality experience to the young people involved and to support
the volunteers who make this possible. All of our volunteers are aware of the Club’s Child Protection Policy and
codes of conduct.

Moffat RFC also take steps to make our junior members and their parents or guardians aware of the Club’s Child
Protection Policy and codes of conduct and that we take their welfare seriously.
