Welfare and safeguarding

Ensuring the safety of everyone involved with the Newcastle Rugby Foundation and Newcastle Rugby is of the upmost importance to us. We believe everyone has a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children, young people, and vulnerable adults to keep them safe and to practise in a way that protects them. We will make sure that everyone has the same protection regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
