Safeguarding

Every member of the rugby community has a right to respect, safety and protection. This right extends to all, including players, coaches, officials, staff or volunteers. The welfare of all members of the rugby community, particularly children and adults at risk, which is of paramount concern. When any member of the rugby community is subjected to or engages in abuse or harassment, it is inconsistent with the values of the Game of Rugby. It undermines the unique character of our sport. All forms of harassment and abuse are prohibited by World Rugby’s Code of Conduct and Integrity Code.
