The RFU has been working with the NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit to produce a training programme for all club welfare officers.

The training programme entitled ‘Time to Listen’ will be ready to deliver soon. The RFU has six tutors trained by the NSPCC aiming to support welfare officers in their role. CB welfare officers are organising dates and venues for courses, which will be run with no cost to clubs. For further information, contact stevefarr@rfu.com or phone 07730 814 159.
