HULL IONIANS RUFC CHILD WELFARE POLICY.

At HULL IONIANS RUFC we believe that taking part in our sport should be a positive and enjoyable part of our children's lives. We endeavor to make sure that children are protected and are kept safe from neglect, physical, sexual and emotional harm whilst they are with the club coaches, helpers, volunteers, parents, officers and staff.

HULL IONIANS RUFC have embraced this ethos and agrees to abide by its own policy and the guidelines set out by the Rugby Football Union as described in the child welfare manual. HULL IONIANS RUFC will continue to update and improve procedures to ensure maximum safety and avoid abuse should that be physical, mental or emotional.

If there are any concerns about neglect, physical, mental or emotional abuse to your or any other child the club child welfare officer is :-

Graham Holmes, Tel 01482 6655324 (H) or 01482 663440 (B) or  email

Copies of the child welfare manual are retained in the club offices and guidance notes are posted on notice boards.
