RYANI and the NI Sailing Team is committed to ensuring that everyone who takes part in the sport should be able to do so in an enjoyable and safe environment, which promotes inclusion and protects from harm, bullying and abuse.

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.
