RYA Child Protection Guidelines 

The RYA's Child Protection Policy and Guidelines can be downloaded from this page and adapted to suit the requirements of your training centre, club or class association.

The Guidelines are currently being reviewed alongside all of the RYA's Junior and Youth policies. 

They will include a new Code of Conduct for participants, parents and volunteers which has been produced in response to feedback received from Club and Class Welfare Officers, instructors and RYA staff.  The final draft is available to download from the links on the right.  If your Club or Class Association would like to try out the new Code, we would be very interested to receive your comments.
