Can I first thank all clubs and CSO’s that completed the annual club safeguarding audit; Yorkshire completed a 100% within the agreed time period. The RFU are currently reviewing the audits and will be in contact with clubs to offer both In Touch courses to CSO's who have yet to complete them and further support to those clubs that have identified areas for further development.
We have also received training figures in relation to Play it Safe for the year of 2022. Can I thank all those clubs that have hosted the 34 courses we have booked and 475 people that have attended. This accounts for 50% of all the participants in the North of England. I believe this supports all the hard work that you are doing in your clubs and the importance that we place on Safeguarding as a county.
Again, as we look to move forward in 2023, we as a Safeguarding team, are here to help!
Yours in rugby
