The Management Committee & members of Chobham RFC recognise that they have a responsibility:

• - To safeguard and promote the interests and well-being of children with whom they are working;
• - To take all reasonable practical steps to protect children from physical harm, discrimination, or degrading treatment; and
• - To respect their rights, wishes and feelings.

Our child safeguarding procedures:

• - Offer safeguards to the children with whom we work and also to our professional members of staff, coaches and club members; and
• - Help to maintain the professionalism and the safeguards of good practice which are associated with the RFU and the sport of Rugby Union.

In addition, Chobham RFU will ensure that:

• - The child's welfare is paramount;
• - All children whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity have the right to protection from abuse;
• - All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately

With the above in mind, the Management Committee has appointed a Child Safeguarding Officer, Lindsey McNicholas 07896 973225.
