RYANI and RYA strongly recommends that all clubs with members or participants aged under 18 adopt a safeguarding policy and some straightforward supporting procedures, and make all members aware of them.
All RYA Recognised Training Centres Offering training to under-18s are required to have a safeguarding policy and procedures in place.
Clubs are advised to ensure that a safeguarding policy is adopted by the club as a whole, not just the Training Centre or the Sailability group, and that all members are aware of it.
