RugbySafe is the RFU’s overarching player safety and wellbeing programme, putting player welfare at the heart of the game and covering how the game should be played and managed to ensure that rugby is as safe as possible.

The RFU provides guidance and resources for all rugby activity organisers on what needs to be in place to create a fun and safe playing environment.

RFU training courses and development opportunities for coaches, match officials, teachers and other volunteers, increase awareness of the game’s key safety elements.

The RFU also engages in key safety research, with findings used to inform the game.
