Mini Rugby - Child Protection
Child Welfare and Child Protection are a key concern at London Welsh and the club follows the RFU's procedures. Click here to read the RFU Policies and Procedures for the welfare of young people in rugby union.
The RFU has produced a Parents' Guide highlighting the points to be considered by parents when allowing their son or daughter to join a rugby club. London Welsh strongly supports and adheres to these guidelines.
