RugbySafe is a comprehensive initiative in the UK aimed at promoting safety and welfare in rugby. It focuses on ensuring that players, coaches, and officials are equipped with the knowledge and resources to participate in the sport safely. The program encompasses various aspects, including:

  • Player Welfare: Emphasising the importance of physical and mental health for players of all ages.
  • Coaching Education: Providing training and resources for coaches to create a safe environment for players.
  • Injury Prevention: Implementing strategies and guidelines to minimise the risk of injuries during training and matches.
  • Emergency Procedures: Establishing protocols for dealing with injuries and emergencies on the field.

RugbySafe is part of the broader commitment by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to enhance the safety and enjoyment of the game at all levels, from grassroots to professional rugby.
