Mini/Junior Section - Safeguarding Policy
At Hull Ionians RUFC we believe that taking part in our sport should be a positive and enjoyable part of our players’ lives. We endeavour to make sure that children and vulnerable adults are protected and are kept safe from neglect, physical, sexual and emotional harm whilst they are with the club’s coaches, helpers, volunteers, parents, officers and staff.
Hull Ionians RUFC has embraced this ethos and agrees to abide by its own policy and the guidelines set out by the Rugby Football Union. Hull Ionians will continue to update and improve procedures to ensure maximum safety and avoid abuse should that be physical, mental or emotional.
