Join us for an evening with the RYA South West team hosted by Rob Howlett at Saltash Sailing Club to share valuable insights and take away practical tools to strengthen your activities for the future. 

Open to all RYA-affiliated clubs, classes and organisations, this free 2-hour workshop will begin at 7pm with a short plenary session full of the latest updates. Next, attendees will explore the following topic before a group wrap up at the end of the session.  

Embedding a Safeguarding Culture in Your Organisation 
Safeguarding isn’t just a policy—it’s a culture.  Led by a designated Welfare Officer from your local Active Partnership, gain practical guidance on integrating safeguarding into every aspect of the organisation, from activities to governance. Share experiences with peers and learn how to create an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered. 

There will be time to enjoy some informal networking for 30 minutes before the session as well as during a short break. Light refreshments will be available throughout the event, such as tea, coffee and biscuits.  

Do come along with more than one representative from your organisation, where possible, to make the most of the opportunities provided.  

The majority of our venues are accessible. However, if you have any specific requirements, please let us know when booking. 

If you have any questions in the meantime, please get in touch by contacting Rob Howlett. 

Regardless of which region your organisation is based in, you are welcome to join any of our RYA Connected Workshops. Take a look at the other regional overviews or the RYA Events page. 

We look forward to seeing you!
