Safeguarding and Protecting Children 

All organisations that work with children and young people under the age of 18 have a responsibility to safeguard and promote their welfare.  The RYA is committed to providing a safe environment for young people to enjoy sailing, windsurfing and powerboating at RYA-organised events, and to helping its affiliated clubs and class associations and recognised training centres to fulfil their responsibilities.
