General Principles Everyone who participates in Rugby is entitled to do so in a safe and enjoyable environment. All members must follow the policies defined in this document. A.R.F.C. is committed to helping everyone in rugby to accept their responsibility to Safeguard Vulnerable Adults from harm and abuse. This document sets out the procedures you need to follow to protect Vulnerable Adults and what you need to do if you have any concerns. This policy applies to all coaches, volunteers, helpers, players, parents/carers and Staff involved in Rugby. All these people have a Duty of Care to safeguard the welfare of Vulnerable Adults and prevent their abuse. Requirement for a Vulnerable Adults Policy In line with the considerations of the Disability Discrimination Act (2005) and the Vulnerable Groups Act (2006), to promote equal Opportunities and provide a clearer framework for those with physical, mental health and learning disabilities. Vulnerable people are at heightened risk of abuse and discrimination because of their susceptibility and many experience this in all walks of life. Practice has shown that vulnerable people who are victims of abuse in the sports setting can be reluctant to report their experiences for fear of losing a positive and important part of their lives. Therefore, it is essential that A.R.F.C. are aware of the indicators of abuse and can recognise and act appropriately to protect potential victims. Abuse can occur in many situations, including the home, workplace, day centre, at the shops, on the bus, in educational institutions and of course in a Rugby Club. For the majority of Vulnerable Adults, rugby is a positive and rewarding experience however, there is a growing recognition that sport generally provides easy access to vulnerable people for those who wish to perpetrate abusive behaviour. Therefore, A.R.F.C. is aware of the need to protect Vulnerable Adults from those individuals who may seek to harm them in the RUGBY environment. The primary difference in addressing adult and child abuse relates to the adults right to self-determination. Adults may choose not to act at all to protect themselves and only in extreme circumstances will the law intervene. This is not the case for Children because they are minors under the Children Act (1980) and this legislation can be used effectively to ensure protection from abuse once it has been recognised. In cases of suspected adult abuse it is important to recognise that assertive persuasion to encourage the individual to report or take action against an abuser or abusive situation may have negative outcomes for the Vulnerable Adult and could be detrimental to their well-being by causing them further harm. Therefore, protection of Vulnerable Adults from abuse is a more complex process than child protection and requires policy and procedures that reflect this. Policy users need to develop an understanding that protecting Vulnerable Adults necessitates a more supportive and advisory approach in response to reporting abuse, than in child protection situations where the legal framework is clear and definitive and requires stipulated responses. In serious situations the child can be removed from the abusive environment, for Vulnerable Adults it is not always possible or appropriate to achieve this level of safety. The following policy document draws from and includes relevant legislation and government guidance such as the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006) and the No Secrets guidance (2000) regarding vulnerable people. A.R.F.C. is committed to... Making the welfare of Vulnerable Adults paramount, even where the rights and needs of the other adults that work with them are overridden in order to provide the necessary protection to these individuals, Enabling everyone, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, first language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual orientation to participate equitably in the sport and to have fun in a safe environment. Taking all reasonable steps to protect Vulnerable Adults from harm, discrimination and degrading treatment and have respect for their human rights, wishes and feelings. Taking all suspicions and allegations of abuse or poor practice seriously and responding swiftly and appropriately to them in accordance with current procedures (Complaints and Disciplinary Procedures). Ensuring that all A.R.F.C. members working with Vulnerable Adults are competent and appropriate for the responsibility given to them and have been provided with relevant awareness training regarding the potential difficulties Vulnerable Adults can face and how to manage them. Requiring all members and volunteers to accept responsibility for the welfare of the Vulnerable Adults in their care in accordance with all A.R.F.C. policies and procedures, and that they incorporate these into their constitutions and rules, being mindful and ensuring that all members and volunteers are mindful of the differences between policies and procedures regarding vulnerable adults and those of children, and particularly that each vulnerable adult has the right to self determination in all but the most extreme matters. Where appropriate, working in partnership with parents/carers to support the Vulnerable Adults and, where practicable, cooperating with the wishes of the Vulnerable Adult and their carers. Abuse and Anti Bullying Policy Contained within this section is: Objectives of this policy Degree of Abuse Responding to Bullying Strategies to Discourage Bullying Responding to victims of Bullying Confronting the Bully(ies) Supporting the Bullied Objectives of this policy All A.R.F.C. volunteers, members, and parents/carers should have an understanding of what abuse is. All A.R.F.C. volunteers and members should know what the clubs policy is on any form of abuse, and follow it when abuse is reported. All members including vulnerable adults and their parents/carers should know what the club policy is on abuse and what they need to do should abuse arise. As a club you take bullying seriously. Vulnerable adults and their parents/carers should be assured that they would be supported when abuse is reported. Any form of abuse will not be tolerated A.R.F.C. is committed to providing a supportive, friendly, safe and positive environment free of offensive or abusive behaviour through its network of members, clubs and staff. Adults with disabilities are particularly vulnerable and at greater risk of all forms of abuse. The presence of multiple disabilities increases the risk of both abuse and neglect. Some of the common factors that can lead to increased vulnerability include social isolation, communication and learning difficulties, lack of understanding of boundaries, need for assistance with personal care and more likely target for bullying and abuse. Adults with disabilities have the same rights to protection as any other adult and clubs working with these adults need to be especially alert to the signs and symptoms of abuse and have strategies in place to ensure all vulnerable adults are able to raise concerns. Abuse is not always easy to identify. Some indicators of abuse are: The adult discloses a concern and describes what may be an abusive act. Another person raises concern about the well being of an adult. Unexplained or concerning injuries such as burns, cuts, and bruises and particularly when situated in areas of the adults body which are not normally prone to injury. Physical injury where the explanation given is inconsistent. Unexplained changes in behaviour such as an adult becoming withdrawn, quiet or aggressive/verbally violent. Inappropriate sexual awareness and/or behaving in a sexualised manner. Excessive weight loss or weight gain for no obvious reason. Physical appearance becomes unkempt. The adult is withdrawn and isolated themselves from the group and seems unable to make friends. This is not an exhaustive list of indicators and alone cannot be seen to be definitive proof an adult is being abused. A.R.F.C. does not expect the adults involved in the sport to decide whether a vulnerable adult has been abused but it is everyones responsibility to act upon their concerns and report any incident immediately. Degree of Abuse In response to the No Secrets Government guidance, the Law Commission states that the severity and extent of abuse should be evaluated based on the level of harm brought about by ill treatment (not only physical ill treatment) that leads to an impairment of, or avoidable deterioration in physical or mental health and the impairment of physical, intellectual, emotional, social or behavioural development. the vulnerability of the victim the nature and extent of the abuse the length of time the abuse has been occurring the impact on the individual the risk of repeated or increasingly serious acts involving this or other Vulnerable Adults Abuse and Anti Bullying Policy The government guidance No Secrets provides the following as classifications of abuse: Physical abuse, including hitting, slapping, pushing, kicking, misuse of medication, restraint, or inappropriate sanctions; Sexual abuse, including rape and sexual assault or sexual acts to which the vulnerable adult has not consented, or could not consent or was pressured into consenting; Psychological abuse, including emotional abuse, threats of harm or abandonment, deprivation of contact, humiliation, blaming, controlling, intimidation, coercion, harassment, verbal abuse, isolation or withdrawal from services or supportive networks; Neglect and acts of omission, including ignoring medical or physical care needs, failure to provide access to appropriate health, social care or educational services, the withholding of the necessities of life, such as medication, adequate nutrition and heating. Financial or material abuse, including theft, fraud, exploitation, pressure in connection with wills, property or inheritance or financial transactions, or the misuse or misappropriation of property, possessions or benefits; Discriminatory abuse, including racist, sexist, that based on a persons disability, and other forms of harassment, slurs or similar treatment. Bullying. Bullying and harassment occurs where repeated deliberate actions by one or more people cause hurt to an individual or group and where it is difficult for the bullied person(s) to prevent or deal with this persons actions. The damage inflicted by bullying can frequently be underestimated. It can cause considerable distress, to the extent that it affects their health and development or, at the extreme, causes them significant harm (including self-harm). In more extreme cases signs of bullying include the following: starts stammering cries themselves to sleep at night, has nightmares or demonstrates any other form of unusual behaviour during the evenings becomes aggressive, disruptive or unreasonable is bullying other individuals stops eating self harms attempts or threatens suicide or runs away These signs and behaviours may indicate other problems, but bullying should be considered a possibility and should be investigated. Responding to Bullying Bullying by children or adults on vulnerable adults within a club must never be tolerated. Bullying may take many forms including physical, verbal, or through the written word, and may be conducted in person or through the actions of another person/other people. Strategies to Discourage Bullying Create an open environment and provide adequate supervision at all times Encourage vulnerable adults to speak out and share any concerns with the person in charge, the Safeguarding Officers or other responsible adults. Take all signs or allegations of possible bullying seriously. Responding to victims of Bullying Anyone becoming aware that a vulnerable adult is being bullied should offer the adult reassurance and try to gain their trust. Explain that someone in authority may need to be informed. Keep accurate records of what happened together with names of those involved and any action taken. Report suspicions or concerns to the person in charge. Confronting the Bully(ies) Talk to the bully(ies), explain the situation and try to get the bully(ies) to understand the consequences of their actions. Seek an apology from the bully(ies) to the victim. Inform the bullys parents. Insist that any borrowed items are returned to the victim. Impose sanctions or disciplinary action if necessary. Report and record all actions taken. Provide support for the victim and his/her coach. Encourage the bully(ies) to change his/her behaviour. Supporting the Bullied Vulnerable adults who have been bullied will often need support from safeguarding officers to deal with the impact of bullying. This may include having a specific person to whom concerns can be raised. They will need to be supported external to the club from parents/carers, or other relatives. The club may consider holding a reconciliation meeting to help address the issues between the bully and the bullied person. Abuse of Position of Trust Contained within this section is: Poor Practice A.R.F.C. believes anyone in a position of trust who engages in sexual activity within a relationship of trust is in serious breach of the A.R.F.C. Policy and is likely to be considered unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults in rugby. Poor Practice can be split into a number of groupings. These include: Practices that may be on the fringe of abuse and/or if repeated again and again, would amount to abuse. Most of the examples are linked to emotional abuse. Examples include: -Name-calling -Constant criticism of a vulnerable adult -Exerting excessive pressure -Forcing a vulnerable adult to do something against their will - Use of inappropriate language -Harassment. Breaches of A.R.F.C. Vulnerable Adults Policy Examples include: -No welfare officer within the club -Inadequate safeguarding arrangements -Providing inadequate supervision and/or care -Failure to respond appropriately to concerns -Expelling anyone from the club who raises a concern? -Excluding parents/carers from observing or asking questions about training -Inappropriate use of photographic equipment or materials. Breaches of recognised best practice in coaching -Providing coaching or running a session without another responsible adult present -Exceeding level of competence and/or qualification -Employing practices that are inappropriate for the stage of psychological and physical development of the individual -Excessive training or competition -Inappropriate/excessive supporting or stretching. Practices that may be carried out with the best intentions but that fall into a category of behaviours that are used by people who sexually abuse vulnerable adults to groom their victim Examples include: -Offering to give a vulnerable adult a lift home alone -Giving a vulnerable adult gifts -Having unnecessary physical contact with a vulnerable adult e.g. excessive handling/supporting, cuddling, kissing, friendly taps etc -Socialising/having friendships with vulnerable adults outside training. Practices that are known to be significant risk factors in cases of abuse and can never to be condoned: -Taking vulnerable adults to your home or other place unaccompanied by others. -Engaging in rough, physical or sexually provocative games. -Sharing a room with a vulnerable adult. -Allowing or engaging in any form of inappropriate touching. -Making sexually suggestive remarks. -Reducing a vulnerable adult to tears as a form of control. - Using or allowing vulnerable adults to use inappropriate language unchallenged. -Allowing allegations made by a vulnerable adult to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon. -Carrying out personal care for a vulnerable adult that they can do unaided -Departing from the premises without first supervising the safe dispersal of the vulnerable adults. -Abusing a privileged position of power or trust. -Resorting to bullying tactics, or verbal abuse. -Causing a participant to lose self-esteem by embarrassing, humiliating or undermining the individual. -Spending excessive amounts of time alone with a vulnerable adult away from other adults. Abuse of Position of Trust It is essential that everyone challenges poor practice, even where there is a belief that the motives of an individual are well meaning. Failure to challenge poor practice can lead to an environment where abuse is more likely to remain unnoticed. A.R.F.C. accepts that on occasion there may be unplanned situations where the unexpected does occur, which leads to a responsible person being alone with a vulnerable adult. In addition, situations arise where a vulnerable adult may: -become distressed -be accidentally hurt by someone else -misunderstand/misinterpret something that has been said or done -appear to become sexually aroused In these situations, the individual involved must report the incident immediately to the safeguarding officer or a senior colleague and compile a brief written report of the event. The parent/carer should also be informed of any significant incident with the consent of the vulnerable adult if they have capacity.

Confidentiality Policy Contained within this section is: Introduction Responsibilities General Principles Operational Practice Staff or Membership Suspensions Subject access requests Electronic Information Email Addresses *Data Protection Act 1998 - Eight Principles Introduction Aylesbury Rugby Football Club Ltd. (A.R.F.C.) recognises that a guarantee that members personal information is kept safe and secure is vital to ensure trust and confidence in the organization. The purpose of this policy is to: establish a clear and agreed understanding of what confidentiality means within A.R.F.C. encourage uniformity in practice ensure that A.R.F.C. members/ volunteers and external agencies working with A.R.F.C. are aware of the standards they can expect There are some situations where confidential information may be shared without consent. These circumstances are set out in A.R.F.C. Information sharing to safeguard vulnerable adults policy. This policy applies to all A.R.F.C. members and continues to apply after their service or involvement with A.R.F.C. has come to an end. Responsibilities The Executive Committee has the overall and final responsibility for ensuring that A.R.F.C. meets its legal responsibilities regarding confidentiality in relation to the Data Protection Act 1998, Human Rights legislation and the common law duty of confidentiality. Committee Members must also maintain confidentiality as a requirement of the Company Act 1989 The Chairman with designated Safeguarding Officers has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Confidentiality Policy is put into practice. In particular the they will ensure that: A.R.F.C. Officials are aware of their responsibilities to their staff and volunteers Arrangements are in place to monitor and implement this policy Breaches of the policy are dealt with proportional to the implications of the breach Under the Data Protection Act 1998 A.R.F.C. is required to register with the Information Commissioner. The Act regulates the handling of all personal data held on an individual. General Principles Information belongs to the person or agency entrusting it to a member of staff, a member or volunteer of A.R.F.C. Information provided by an individual or organization should be treated as confidential unless it has been expressly stated otherwise. Once received by A.R.F.C., information may not be used for any purpose other than that for which it was given; nor may it be passed on to any person or agency outside A.R.F.C. without the express permission of the data subject. Except when required for legal reasons? Operational Practice A.R.F.C. keeps extensive records, using paper files and computers. Where necessary, personal details of A.R.F.C. members and volunteers are recorded in these systems. Every A.R.F.C. member or employee has a right of access to any personal information that A.R.F.C. holds on them in a relevant filing system** and to have changed any information that is inaccurate. ??Confidential information that has been provided by a third party may be removed from a file prior to its examination. A.R.F.C. will maintain an appropriate level of security, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and will adequately protect information about individuals that is held in these systems. Paper files will be kept in a locked area and computer-based files will be password protected. The use of information for reports, monitoring and funding applications will avoid any specific detail about members that might lead to their identification unless they have given their prior consent. Consent must be obtained from the relevant individuals prior to any personal information being publicized either in print or on a website. The accuracy of the information must also be confirmed. A.R.F.C. will seek permission from the relevant member, volunteer, employee or organization before any information that is held by A.R.F.C. is passed on to a third party where that information specifically identifies them or might lead to their identification. In the case of employees, this does not include their professional contact details. Staff or Membership Suspensions Where a A.R.F.C. member or member of staff is temporarily suspended, the Chairman and Safeguarding Officer has overall responsibility for determining who should be informed. The suspension and the reasons behind the decision will be treated as a confidential matter and will not be disclosed unless there is a justifiable reason. When deciding whether or not to disclose information, it is vital to consider if a proposed disclosure is a proportionate response to protect the welfare of children or other members. The amount of confidential information disclosed and to whom should be no more than is strictly necessary to ensure the welfare of A.R.F.C. members and young people. Sharing Information within the Rugby Football Union(RFU) It is sometimes desirable to share information with Bucks County Rugby Football Union (BCRFU) and the RFU officials to allow them to fulfill their role. Information given to officials acting on behalf of BCRFU and RFU will only be given on a need to know basis. It should be absolutely clear to all attending meetings or taking on a role on behalf of A.R.F.C. that they must comply with the rules of confidentiality and ensure confidential matters are not disclosed. Subject access requests The Data Protection Act 1998 provides all data subjects with the right to request access to their personal file. A.R.F.C. holds membership files and other records for young people under the age of eighteen. As a general rule a person with parental responsibility will have the right to apply for access to information held on file or in a membership record relating to their child if the young person is under the age of sixteen. Where a child is considered capable of making their own decisions, their consent will be sought before a person with parental responsibility will be given access to their file or record. Where an individual is over the age of 16, subject access requests must come direct from the individual unless it can be demonstrated that the data subject lacks capacity to make their own decisions. Electronic Information Each user is responsible for securing (or limiting access to) documents and folders, which can be accessed via A.R.F.C. and Rugby First networks. On no account should confidential work be stored in shared folders. All A.R.F.C. Computers that contain sensitive or confidential data are password protected. Users should not disclose passwords or security details to others except when required to do so by a manager. Email Addresses Personal email addresses should be treated in the same manner as private telephone numbers and should only be given out with the explicit consent from the individual. A.R.F.C. officials should use standard signatures, which refer to the confidentiality policy when posting email externally. * Data Protection Act 1998 - Eight Principles 1. Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be processed unless at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 is met; and in the case of sensitive personal data, at least one of the conditions in Schedule 3 is also met. 2. Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes. 3. Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed. 4. Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. 5. Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. 6. Personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under this Act. 7. Appropriate technical and organizational measures shall be taken against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data. 8. Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Union, unless that Country ensures an adequate level of protection of the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data. ** To fall under the Data Protection Act 1998, personal data held manually must be organized into a relevant filing system. Manual files would only fall within the scope of the Act if the filing system is sufficiently sophisticated to provide the same or similar speed of accessibility to computerized files. Contact Information Club information sheet Club Safeguarding Officer responsible for Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Name: Tel: Constituent Body Welfare Officer Name: Tel: Duty of Care Clubs have a responsibility for the safety and welfare of players, coaches, volunteers, officials and visitors.. There is a legal responsibility to ensure that participants are protected against harm or danger whilst taking part in rugby or related activities. This is legally termed the Duty of Care. When working with vulnerable adults, an adult who carries out a supervisory role would take on certain responsibilities while the adult was in their care. This may include: Holding a responsibility for care and well-being during training Safe dispersal after training Providing first aid Chaperoning Team Managing The expected standard for behaviour is based on reasonableness. The Duty of Care starts from the time a vulnerable adult arrives at a club or event, until the vulnerable adult is returned to their parent/carer. In order to fulfil the Duty of Care, rugby activity providers must make sure that the following areas are properly covered: Safeguarding and welfare Safe environment including safe equipment Safe development of the individual through appropriate physical and psychological preparation and progressive skill development Provision of suitable first aid support and emergency procedures Exercising reasonable care at all times. Those with an overall responsibility for running a club or providing rugby activity must ensure that policies and procedures are in place and implemented to ensure that the Duty of Care is met. However, A.R.F.C. Policy, training courses and resource materials are designed to provide the prudent club, welfare officer, coach, official and parent with a sufficient basis of knowledge and guidance to enable them to make informed judgements in respect of safeguarding and the promotion of the welfare of vulnerable adults in their care. The guidance in this section will assist Rugby providers to ensure the approach to safeguarding and the promotion of welfare fulfils the duty of care and meets reasonable expectations in relation to the standards required by organizations that provide services for vulnerable adults. Any reports of failure to comply with the guidance in this section will be investigated as breach of Policy. Good Practice and Poor Practice for Club and Coaches Contained within this section is: Good Practice for Coaches and Club Officials Good Practice for Clubs Good Practice for Coaches and Club Officials All participants have the right to be safe and to be treated with dignity and respect. The promotion of good practice will reduce the possibility of abusive situations occurring. A good caring coach will continually reflect upon their own coaching style, physiology and practices to ensure the safety and well-being of the participant at all times. Although this policy and Guidelines are written with coaches in mind they are applicable to all adults with access to vulnerable adults through rugby. Failure to comply may lead to disciplinary action. The following are examples of good practice: Always be publicly open when working with vulnerable adults. Ensure that a coach and an individual vulnerable adult can always be seen. Always ensure there is at least one other responsible adult present at all times during training sessions. Treat all participants with respect and dignity Always place the safety and the welfare of the participants as the highest priority Behave in an exemplary manner and provide a role model for excellent behaviour within the club and at all rugby events matches and competitions Keep up to date with your knowledge and technical skills Do not exceed the level of your qualifications Respect the needs and wishes of all participants. Motivate the participants through positive feedback and constructive criticism Create a safe and enjoyable situation Maintain a written report of any accident, incident or near miss regardless of the injury together with any subsequent treatment or action Ensure all members of A.R.F.C. adhere to the codes of ethics and code of conduct Do not take a vulnerable adult in a car alone except in unforeseen circumstances (i.e. hospital) PRACTICE NEVER TO BE CONDONED You should never: Take a vulnerable adult to your home or other place where they will be alone with you Engage in rough physical or sexual provocative games Share a room with a vulnerable adult Allow or engage in any form of inappropriate behaviour Engage in any form of sexual related relationship with a vulnerable adult Make sexually suggestive remarks to a vulnerable adult even in fun Reduce a vulnerable adult to tears as a form of control Encourage children or vulnerable adults to bully vulnerable adults verbally, racially or physically Allow allegations made by a vulnerable adult to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon Do things of a personal nature that they can do for themselves, unless you have been instructed to do so by the parents/carer and then only with the consent of the vulnerable adult. An adult, with capacity, should make their own decisions. Depart from the premises until you have supervised the safe dispersal of all the vulnerable adults Abuse your privileged position of power or trust with vulnerable adults Resort to bullying tactics, or verbal abuse (i.e. Shouting, screaming, physically poke or make fun of) Cause a participant to lose self esteem by embarrassing, humiliating or undermining the individual Allow vulnerable adults to form an inappropriate relationship with a coach Text, or use any social networking sites to engage in conversation with players. Always communicate with the person themselves and parents/carers if appropriate. Coaches must not provide intimate care e.g. toileting, assisting with changing Good Practice for A.R.F.C. It is essential that the welfare and safety of vulnerable adults is paramount for all club activities, not only to provide the best possible protection for vulnerable adults in rugby, but also to avoid allegations of poor practice and to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers and participants. Failure to follow guidelines could place vulnerable adults, coaches and the club in a vulnerable situation. A.R.F.C. must: Provide a designated person (Safeguarding Officer) for dealing with safeguarding within the club. Provide an open door policy where parents can observe the vulnerable adult if the adult so wishes Adopt the A.R.F.C. Safeguarding and Protecting Vulnerable Adults Policy Promote the policy to all club members and parents/carers to show the club commitment to a safe environment Promote an environment where all legitimate concerns can be raised without fear of victimisation or reprisal (See Whistle Blowing) Establish procedures through which complaints or concerns can be voiced and dealt with confidentially Ensure that all staff, coaches, volunteers and helpers who have regular contact with children or vulnerable adults are Criminal Record Bureau checked. Keep written records of any poor practice or child/adult protection related incidents and accidents and any action taken Provide provision for regular training for all coaches, assistants and officials in Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Ensuring that there are at least two responsible adults present at all training sessions That coaches, staff, helpers or volunteers are not placed in a position by the club that will place them in breach of A.R.F.C. policies and procedures, rules and regulations Ensure that good practice is in place for all trips away from the normal training venue. Ensure that equal opportunities and equity policies are adhered to, and that discrimination is prohibited at all levels Ensure careful screening of coaches, helper, volunteers or officials according to the safe recruitment guidelines Keep parents/carers fully informed, as appropriate and with the consent of the vulnerable adult of the vulnerable adults development and any changes to the normal training routine. Guidance for Parents/Carers It is important that parents/carers are able to feel confident that vulnerable adults will be protected from harm while attending A.R.F.C. The following information will allow parents/carers to make informed decisions about whether the club has taken an appropriate response to safeguarding vulnerable adults in its care. Parents/Carers should be encouraged to talk to the vulnerable adult about training. Parents should check that: The club has a published safeguarding and protecting vulnerable adults policy The club has an anti-bullying policy. The club has codes of conduct for all members including coaches, staff and volunteers, parents and players. There is a designated person (Welfare Officer) in place with a responsibility for safeguarding The club encourages members and their parent/carers to raise concerns without fear of victimization or reprisal. There are procedures in place for dealing with complaints and disciplinary issues. The club has procedures in place for safe recruitment including the use of CRB disclosures. All coaches have or are working towards an RFU Coaching qualifications and only coach to the level of their qualification There are always at least two responsible adults present during training sessions. (NB The second adult could be a parent helper or club official) Coaches must not provide intimate care e.g. toileting, assisting with changing All staff and volunteers have attended relevant training All staff and volunteers have an RFU Criminal Records Disclosure Parents/carers are not discouraged from watching or becoming involved. The club has an Equality policy. When working with vulnerable adults, over the age of eighteen , then their wishes etc need to be taken into account and their consent sought for any decisions that affect them, not the parents/carer. Parents/carers should be included when appropriate and if the person lacks capacity. Information Sharing In order to ensure there is transparency in the application of this policy, A.R.F.C. will ensure that people to whom this policy applies are aware of the content and ensuing implications A.R.F.C. will ensure that the way that information is shared is appropriate to the level of urgency but in the event that information is shared by phone, it will be supported by a written report Information that is shared will be accurate, up to date, necessary for the purpose for which it is being shared, shared only with those with a need to see it and shared securely Records will always be kept of the decision to share, or not to share, information and the reasons for this decision Where information is shared during the course of an investigation, the outcome will be shared with those to whom the original information was sent Type of Information that will be shared Information relating to safeguarding/welfare concerns which meet the threshold for referral to external safeguarding agencies (Police or Adult Social Care Services) will be shared in all cases In respect of CRB information which raises safeguarding concerns, A.R.F.C. will disclose on a need to know basis the personal details of any individual that the B.C.R.F.U. or RFU Case Referral Management groups determined unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults Information indicating safeguarding concerns but which is not acted on by statutory agencies (for example, where prosecution is not possible, or has been unsuccessful; where a referral is bounced back by Adult Social Care Services or the Police as not meeting their threshold, but the CRMG believes that concerns remain; or where risks are identified from information arising as a result of recruitment or other internal processes Information relating to poor practice cases (for example, breach of codes of conduct/ethics) involving a perceived risk to vulnerable adults, but not meeting the threshold for referral to external agencies, and: -Where A.R.F.C. has either suspended or excluded the individual, or -Has put in place special arrangements or monitoring to ensure vulnerable adults welfare as a result of its disciplinary process Involving Vulnerable Adults Each Vulnerable Adult is a unique individual with varying degrees of need and ability. Some people will have a combination of physical and learning disability, others may have one or the other; some may have mental health needs and a combination of other complex disabilities such as Epilepsy, Diabetes, Downs Syndrome, visual or hearing impairment. The appropriateness of involving parents/carers in any rugby and welfare related decision making will depend on the individual needs and circumstances of the Vulnerable Adult and, most of all, upon their wishes. Often Vulnerable Adults feel strongly that they want to maintain independence and make decisions for themselves; such views should be encouraged and supported wherever possible. Ideally, good practice suggests a partnership model of working involving the coach, or club welfare officer, the vulnerable adult and their parent/carer. In these circumstances it is important that the Vulnerable Adult is at the centre of the decision making process. The provisions in the Mental Capacity Act (2005) should be considered in relation to Vulnerable Adults and decision-making. Those without the capacity to make decisions under this legislation will be more dependent on their parent/carer or responsible adult in the decision making process. The act provides that: a person is unable to make a decision for them self if they are unable(a) to understand the information relevant to the decision, (b) to retain that information, (c) to use or weigh that information as part of the process of making the decision, or (d) to communicate their decision (whether by talking, using sign language or any other means). (2) A person is not to be regarded as unable to understand the information relevant to a decision if they are able to understand an explanation of it given to them in a way that is appropriate to their circumstances (using appropriate language for the individual, visual aids or any other means). (3) The fact that a person is able to retain the information relevant to a decision for a short period only does not prevent them from being regarded as able to make the decision. (4) The information relevant to a decision includes information about the reasonably foreseeable consequences of (a) deciding one way or another, or (b) failing to make the decision. A.R.F.C. encourages the individuals development of independence, confidence and self-esteem on a personal level and in their Rugby activities. Hence it is important that everyone at A.R.F.C. is aware of the need to balance the involvement of parents/carers and the needs and wishes of individual participants in cases where Vulnerable Adults are concerned. Some ideas on involving vulnerable adults: Establishing a forum to seek the views of vulnerable adults within the club. Identifying a representative to communicate the views of vulnerable adults in formal settings such as Club Committee Meetings. Involving vulnerable adults in helping develop literature, posters and website information on safeguarding issues. Carrying out questionnaire based surveys to seek views and comments from vulnerable adults. Holding meetings with the vulnerable adult when considering changes to policies and gather their views. Late Collection of Vulnerable Adults The following information provides guidance for clubs on how to respond where a parent/carer, for whatever reason, does not arrive at the required time to collect the vulnerable adult. All parents/carers must be advised that in the event that they are delayed for any reason, they must: Contact the club at the earliest opportunity Provide clear guidance on what they wish the club to do e.g. consent for another parent/carer to transport the vulnerable adult home. Missing Vulnerable Adults In the rare event that a vulnerable adult goes missing from the club, the following guidelines have been devised to outline the actions that should be taken. At the point that a vulnerable adult has been identified as missing the club should: Ensure that other vulnerable adults in the group are looked after appropriately while a search for the adult concerned is conducted. Inform the parents/carer if they are present, or nominate an appropriate person to telephone them and advise them of the concern. Reassure them that everything is being done to locate the adult. Organize all available responsible adults by areas to be searched. It is best to take a short time to organize the search properly so that all places are searched fully. Search the area in which the vulnerable adult gone missing including changing rooms, toilets, public and private areas and the club grounds. Request all those searching report back to a nominated adult at a specific point. Make a note of the circumstances in which the vulnerable adult has gone missing and where he/she was last seen Prepare a detailed physical description of the vulnerable adult, including: -Approximate height -Build -Hair and eye colour -Clothing he/she was wearing, as this will be required by the police Report the concern to the police if the search is unsuccessful. This must happen no later than 30 minutes after the persons disappearance is noted, even if the search is incomplete. Follow police guidance if further action is recommended and maintain close contact with the police Ensure that you inform all adults involved including the parents/carers, searchers and police if at any stage the vulnerable adult is located Refer the concern ASAP to A.R.F.C. Safeguarding Officer. If a vulnerable adult is suspected of being missing, the protocol below must be followed. Coach, friend or other person notices the absence of a vulnerable adult Maximum of 20 minutes Staff present, in conjunction with the Welfare Officer, to make assessment of the situation, e.g. seen stepping into a car. Immediate concern contact the police. Otherwise conduct immediate search of appropriate area. Do not send other vulnerable adults to search Ensure Parent/carer is informed in person or by telephone Prepare a detailed description of the vulnerable adult as this will be required by the police Report the concern to the police if the search is unsuccessful. This must happen no later than 30 minutes after the search began If the vulnerable adult is found, call off the search and inform all relevant parties including the police if they have not already arrived Incident to be logged and the Safeguarding Officer must be informed as soon as possible Photography and the use of Imagery Contained within this section is: General Principles concerning the use of Photographs or Recorded Images Use of Videos as an aid to coaching General Principles concerning the use of Photographs or Recorded Images Implicit within A.R.F.C. policy and procedures for the protection of vulnerable adults is the commitment to ensure that all publications and media represent participants appropriately and with due respect. It is not the intention of A.R.F.C. to prevent parents/carers from taking pictures of the sport of rugby but rather to ensure that photographic practices are carefully managed and effective prevention measures in place to deter anyone with undesirable intentions from taking and publishing inappropriate images. All members must comply with the following guidelines: A photograph, video clip or other image of a player should not be published whether in print or electronically (e.g. on a website) without written consent from the player concerned (or in the case of a vulnerable adult unable to give their consent. This must be obtained from their parent/carer), and personal information of the individual, other than their name and their club, should not accompany the image. (Particular provisions apply in connection to photography at public events such as competitions and displays below). While some editing of images is acceptable, images taken of players should not be modified, merged or manipulated in a way, which might cause embarrassment or distress to the subject or cause the final image to be inappropriate. Simultaneous live streaming of images onto a website is forbidden. Only pre-recorded and edited material should be made available after any inappropriate images have been edited or deleted. Any instance of the use or publication of inappropriate images of players should be reported to the Safeguarding Officer who may then inform the appropriate authorities. A.R.F.C. has a photography consent form as part of the process applied when joining the club, concerning the taking of images for training purposes. A.R.F.C. recognises that there is a potential for abuse of any image placed on the Internet or within other forms of media. Although the exploitation of such images may be rare, A.R.F.C. has a responsibility to provide guidance on how images of vulnerable adults should be used to reduce any risk. Those creating or administering websites should carefully monitor their content to eliminate the use of inappropriate images or improper text. When determining whether it is appropriate to publish a photograph on a website or another form of media, consideration should be given to both the potential for inappropriate use of an image and the possibility that an individual could make contact with a vulnerable adult by using any personal and club details placed on line. The following steps can be taken to reduce the risk from the publication of imagery: Do not use any personal details if it is possible from the image to ascertain a specific location or there are any details on your site about the training venue. If it is not possible to ascertain any training or competitive location, consider using a first name only next to an image. The dress of a vulnerable adult should be considered when using the photo: i) If it is a posed shot for example taken during a medal presentation, try to ensure that the vulnerable adult is fully clothed in a tracksuit or similar attire. ii) If it is an action shot, try to use profile imagery and avoid full-length shots. Alternatively, use digital software to blur the facial features. Do not use images that can appear staged and potentially provocative. Avoid using images that appear to focus unnecessarily directly on the groin area in movements where legs are in a split position. Always use a consent form to request the use of a vulnerable adults image for publication. The parent/carer should be encouraged to discuss the matter with the vulnerable adult before signing a consent form. A.R.F.C. Safeguarding Officer should be informed of any inappropriate use of imagery on rugby websites or any other form of media, which is not in keeping with this guidance. Anyone discovering a vulnerable adults image that appears to be being used illegally on any website, should report the matter to the police. Use of Videos as an aid to coaching The use of video equipment can be a valuable aid to coaching. The guidelines below should be implemented to safeguard against inappropriate practice. Ensure that the performers and their parent/carer are aware of the purpose of the filming as a coaching aid and consent is obtained. Ensure that the person designated for participants welfare and one other responsible and approved adult is present to ensure that performers are protected against inappropriate filming. Care should be taken to securely store the video materials to avoid inappropriate usage. Welfare Officers - Responsibilties Although the responsibility for safeguarding falls on everyone, a critical element in safeguarding is the designation of an individual who is responsible for safeguarding and promoting welfare of vulnerable adults within the club. A.R.F.C.has Safeguarding Officers who are required to be responsible for: Responding to poor practice concerns Providing support and advice in the implementation of procedures that safeguard and promote the welfare of vulnerable adults Assisting the club to be more focused in its activities e.g. involving vulnerable adults in decision making processes. In order to avoid any potential conflicts of interest, the role must not be taken on by a key member of the coaching team or member of her/his immediate family, however an individual who has a more limited involvement in coaching can take on the role in the event that there is no other acceptable alternative. The ideal candidate may be a parent/carer or other volunteer with professional experience in safeguarding e.g. police officer, social worker, nurse, teacher etc. As it can often be very difficult to find a suitable candidate for the role, the following information provides some suggestions on how this might be addressed and how the organization can assist with the role. Raising awareness of the role It is important that everyone connected with the club or organization is aware of the need to appoint a welfare officer. Some of the methods that have proved successful include: Writing to anyone who may be interested in the position Circulating a profile of the role in the club newsletter Advertising on the club notice board or website and in Club folder containing job descriptions Head hunting - making direct approaches to individuals who have the appropriate experience Holding an open evening for parents/carers and inviting the County welfare officer or the present welfare officer to talk about the position It is important that prospective candidates are provided with full details of what the role entails and how they will be supported in the position . It is also useful to provide potential candidates with relevant information about the club/squad e.g. policy for volunteers, codes of conduct etc. What support structures should be in place? Before finalising the appointment of a welfare officer, the club should ensure that the safe recruitment procedures have been fully applied. The organisation must ensure that the welfare officer is fully empowered to fulfil the role and has the full support from the relevant committee/management to make any appropriate changes to procedures and practices. How can the Welfare Officer ensure they are visible and known to club members? The welfare officer does not need to attend every training session or match but it is critical that everyone understands the role and the responsibilities it entails. It is important that the welfare officer is fully involved in the clubs activities and vulnerable adults and parents/carers are fully aware of how to raise concerns. The following are suggestions may help clubs to ensure that everyone knows the welfare officer and understands her/his role Put a poster on the club notice board with the welfare officers name and contact details. This might include a photograph and a list of times when the welfare officer will be present at the club. Make sure that all club paperwork includes the welfare officers contact details Ensure the welfare officer details are included in new member information packs Introduce the welfare officer at club events Allow the welfare officer to hold an introduction evening Allow the welfare officer to engage with vulnerable adults in the club. This may include developing/revising codes of conduct, electing a representative to represent views, involve vulnerable adults in decision making etc. Responding to Allegations of Abuse Safeguarding Concerns In addition to ensuring all A.R.F.C. members are fully aware of the importance of safeguarding, it is essential that anyone who comes into contact with vulnerable adults as part of their role in the sport understands what action should be taken in response to concerns, disclosures and allegations against others involved in the sport. It is not the role of A.R.F.C. or anyone in the sport to conduct enquiries into possible abuse concerns. The following procedures outline the responses that should be taken in the event of an allegation or suspicions of abuse or significant harm. This section also provides guidance sharing relevant information with Adult Social Care Services and/or police and other relevant organizations without delay and within agreed protocols. Concerns fall into two categories, RUGBY related External to the sport e.g. at home The concern may relate to a current situation or past events and may be about allegations or disclosures of abuse or poor practice by an individual or relating to perceived failure to safeguard by A.R.F.C. Concerns may arise from: A disclosure from a vulnerable adult Direct or reported observations of possible abuse, neglect, suspicious behaviour or poor practice Significant or multiple changes in the vulnerable adults behaviour, appearance, attitude or relationship Reports from external agencies or individuals Everyone has a responsibility to respond to these concerns whether they relate to a vulnerable adults home/family or community situation or involve incidents within the club/rugby community. It is important to note that some vulnerable adults are unable to recognise or share concerns and often rely on other adults with whom they are in contact with to be alert to the possibility that they may be experiencing harm in some area of their lives. A.R.F.Cs primary responsibility is to ensure that concerns relating to possible abuse together with any relevant information are passed on to Adult Social Care Services and/or the Police without delay. It is vital that individuals within a club are aware of what action is required and ensure any concerns are referred to the appropriate welfare officer as shown below: A.R.F.C. Safeguarding Officer Should usually be the first point of call for any concerns that relate to a member of his or her club. B.C.R.F.U. Safeguarding Officer RFU Lead Officer There should always be a welfare officer assigned to an event. Although they may not be present, they should be on-call at the time of the event and be contacted in the event of any concern relating to the specific squad event. Responding to disclosure of abuse If a vulnerable adult indicates that he/she is being abused, or information is received which gives rise to concern that the adult may be being abused, the person receiving the information should: Stay calm and ensure that the vulnerable adult is safe and feels safe. Listen carefully to what is said, allowing the vulnerable adult to continue at his/her own pace. Explain that it is likely the information will have to be shared with others - do not promise to keep secrets. Keep questions to a minimum to ensure a clear and accurate understanding of what has been said. Reassure the vulnerable adult that they have done the right thing in revealing the information. Show and tell the vulnerable adult that what he/she says is being taken seriously and recognise any difficulties inherent in interpreting what the adult says. Tell the vulnerable adult what will be done next, and with whom the information will be shared. Record in writing what was said using the vulnerable adults own words as soon as possible. The following information should be recorded: -Dates and times -Any names mentioned -To whom the information was given - Information that fact, hearsay or opinion should be notes as such - Ensure the record is signed and dated make a record If the vulnerable adult indicates that he/she does not wish others to be informed about the allegations, carefully and tactfully explain the reasons why it may be in the interests of everybody if the matter is referred to the appropriate person or department (i.e. Adult Social Care Services). The person to whom the disclosure is made is presented with a great responsibility and it is advisable, if there is any uncertainty, to seek advice on how to deal with the issue, from Adult Social Care Services, or from the County or National Safeguarding Officer. Actions to avoid Dismissing the concern Panicking Allowing shock or distaste to show Probing for more information than is offered Making promises that cannot be kept, such as agreeing not to tell someone else Speculating or make assumptions Approaching the person who is the subject of an allegation or suspicion (this may put a vulnerable adult at further risk and/or jeopardise a criminal investigation). Conducting a personal investigation of the case. Making negative comments about the accused person. Irrespective of whether the person receiving the information personally believes what has been said, they must always report the disclosure. Untrue disclosures, even when the source is anonymous, are very rare. Reporting the concern In the event that a vulnerable adult may be at risk of significant harm, the concern must be reported to Adult Social Care Services or the Police without delay. The welfare officer is responsible for making this referral but in the event that he or she is unavailable, a senior person at the club should be advised and the matter referred directly to the Adult Social Care Services and/or the Police and the Safeguarding Officer informed of the action taken. The RFU should also be informed at the earliest opportunity and can also make the referral on their behalf. The person advising may be required to also speak to the Statutory agents to clarified any details and may be required as part of their investigation. If the concern relates to the welfare officer, a senior person at the club should be informed and the matter should be referred to Adult Social Care Services and/or the Police and BCRFU and the RFU should be notified without delay. Whoever makes the referral must ensure that the contact details of the person to whom the referral was made are provided to A.R.F.C. together with the details of the referral without delay. In the event that there is any uncertainty as to whether a referral is appropriate, the RFU or Adult Social Care Services will be able to offer advice on what action should be taken. Records and Information Any information passed to the Adult Social Care Services or the Police must be as accurate and helpful as possible and, ideally, should be accompanied by a detailed record providing: Personal details of the vulnerable adult concerned including age or date of birth, full name, gender, race, ethnic origin and address. Details of parent/carer and an indication of what, if any, information has been shared. The nature of the allegation. Full details of the person about whom the concern/allegation is made including full name, date of birth, address, relationship the vulnerable adult concerned and/or position held in the club, if any. Description of any visible injuries or bruising. Detailed description of the vulnerable adults account of how the injuries or bruising occurred. Any times and dates or other relevant information. A clear distinction between what is fact, hearsay or opinion. Reporting the matter to police or Adult Social Care Services should not be delayed by attempts to obtain more information. Wherever possible, referrals made by telephone, should be followed up with a copy of the incident report form within 48 hours this form is within the Sample Forms section. The Safeguarding Officer should record on the incident form, the name and designation of the Adult Social Care Services member of staff to whom the concerns were passed, together with the time and date of the call. A copy of the incident report form including all case information should also be sent to B.C.R.F.U.and the RFU Safeguarding Lead Responding to Media Enquiries Abuse is an area of great interest to the media. When incidents occur it is important to have a strategy to manage any media enquiries. It is important for Clubs to be able to handle initial enquiries in a sensitive and appropriate manner to avoid generating any negative publicity. If a journalist approaches any A.R.F.C. members, the following guidance should be followed: Take a note of the journalists name and whom they represent (i.e. Newspaper, TV Company etc) and any contact details. Take a note of what the journalist is asking you and ask for any clarifications. Inform the appropriate Welfare Officer or person in charge. An appropriate response will be formulated in consultation with the RFU. A copy of the response will be forwarded to the journalist, the club and appropriate region. The same procedures should be followed for any subsequent enquiries and ensure that BCRFU and the RFU is kept fully informed of any local press coverage. Whistle Blowing Safeguarding children and young people requires everyone to be committed to the highest possible standards of openness, integrity and accountability. A.R.F.C. supports an environment where people feel free to raise their concerns with the knowledge that all concerns will be taken seriously. The term whistle blowing is often used in such circumstances to describe the raising of a concern about practices, procedures or conduct of an individual. In rugby context a whistleblower may be: A coach or official A player A parent A member of the public Concerns should be raised without delay to either the Club Safeguarding Officer. The earlier concerns are reported, the easier it will be to take action. Anyone reporting a concern should provide as much information and detail as possible. This could include: Names of the people involved Other witnesses Dates of events Any other relevant documentation A.R.F.C. understands that whistleblowers are often very reluctant to report concerns. Thus, A.R.F.C. recognises that whistleblowers may wish to raise concerns in confidence. In these circumstances, the identity of the whistleblower will be kept confidential. Any subsequent reason why disclosure may be required will be discussed in detail with the whistleblower before any action is taken. It must be recognised that concerns that are reported anonymously are frequently very difficult to investigate. The decision whether to investigate an anonymous allegation will be made by the Safeguarding team in conjunction with County and National advice, based on the seriousness of the concerns , the credibility of the referral and the likelihood of identifying others who can confirm the allegations. Initial enquiries will be made to decide whether an investigation is appropriate and, if so, what form it should take. All concerns raised under this procedure will be treated seriously and a decision made about whether or not an investigation is appropriate. Depending upon the nature of the matter it may be referred the police. In these circumstances, the whistleblower may be asked to provide a written statement and give evidence to the police and/or at an A.R.F.C. hearing. A.R.F.C. will provide support to the whistleblower during this process. A.R.F.C. will not tolerate harassment or victimisation and will take action to protect anyone who has raised a concern in good faith. Anyone who is found to have victimised or harassed a whistleblower will face disciplinary action. Anyone who raises concerns known to be untrue may also be subject to disciplinary action. Aylesbury Rugby Football Club Ltd. Vulnerable Adults Incident Form This form should be used by Club Safeguarding Officers to record the details of any concerns raised. A copy should be sent to the Head of Safeguarding Bucks County and/or RFU. If there is more than one alleged victim a separate form should be completed. All efforts must be made to keep the information confidential. The information should only be shared with those that need to know if it is in the best interest of the child or vulnerable adult. Please note that where a concern is immediate please make initial contact by telephone and return the completed form as soon as possible. The form should be completed for all levels of concern, even where no immediate action may be necessary.

Glossary The glossary provides the meanings, of the words and phrases that are used in the document. In recent years there have been many changes in the terminology used. The following information should also help to clarify how the current terminology and titles relate to past policy documents and training material. In addition, a brief outline has been provided on the (relevant aspects of) key pieces of legislation and guidance that relate to safeguarding. Rugby A generic term that includes all RFU recognised activities Disciplines ag, Touch, Contact (relevant to specifics of age groups), Recreational rugby Club The term is used to describe any situation where a group of people come together with common aims or interests. In the context of Rugby , this would include an RFU registered club. Member Describes a person participating in Rugby, such as Staff, Officials, and Volunteers etc. This policy applies either directly or indirectly to all individuals who participate in the sport of Rugby, regardless of their role. Parent/Carer A Parent/Carer is someone who has the responsibility for providing or arranging care for someone else who, because of long term illness or disability or age, is not able to care for him or herself. Adult Social Care Services This is the new name for the Social Services. However many counties do not name their teams in this way. Confidential information This is information that is not normally in the public domain or readily available from another source and should be subject to a duty of confidence. A duty of confidence arises when one person provides information to another in circumstances where it is reasonable to expect that the information will be held in confidence. Consent This is where agreement is freely given for an action. Informed consent is where the person giving the consent fully understands what is involved and its likely consequences. Consent can be explicit or implicit. Explicit consent can be expressed either orally or in writing, although written consent is preferable since it reduces the scope for subsequent dispute. Implicit consent is where consent is implied e.g. participation in a major public event where the participant or their parent is aware that there will be TV cameras, would imply consent to be filmed. Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) The CRB provides a disclosure service for employers and voluntary organizations in England and Wales. The Service is accessed through Registered Bodies (The RFU). Disabled The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) defines a person as having a disability if he has a physical or mental impairment which has substantial and long-term adverse effect on his ability to carry out normal day to day activities. Learning Disability The Children Act 2004 defines learning disability as: a state of arrested or incomplete development of mind which induces significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning. A learning disability is a lifelong disability that is often present from birth. Loco parentis In loco parentis (from Latin meaning in place of a parent) refers to a person who has been given explicit permission to assume parental responsibility for a child or vulnerable adult by his or her parents/carer or legal guardian. In A.R.F.C. terms we refer to this as in place of a parent and acting as a reasonable trained adult. Need to know In the context of sharing confidential information, disclosing details only to those people who have to be informed. The factors that need to be considered when determining whether to disclose information are the reason for the sharing information, the level of detail that needs to be disclosed, to whom the information should be shared and whether disclosing the information is a proportionate response to the need to protect a vulnerable adult from harm. Proportionality Proportionality is a key factor in deciding whether or not to share confidential information without consent. The principle of proportionality implies that the means should not exceed the ends. In order words, the information you wish, or have been asked, to share, a balanced response to the need to safeguard a person, or to prevent or detect a serious crime. Safeguarding and Promoting the Welfare of Vulnerable Adults The process of protecting vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables vulnerable adults to have optimum life chances. Legislation Data Protection Act 1998 The Data Protection Act relates to personal data in a manual or computerised form that is easily accessible. The Act sets out the requirements for the processing of this information, which includes obtaining, recording, storing and disclosing. Human Rights Act 1998 The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates into domestic law the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. Police Act 1997 Part V of the Police Act set out the measures required to obtain information about prospective employees or volunteers from the CRB (England and Wales), Disclosure Scotland and Access NI (Northern Ireland). Rehabilitation of Offender Act 1974 The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become spent. It helps people with minor convictions, where after a defined period will no longer have to disclose these convictions. Positions working with children are one of a number of exemptions to the Act and people with spent convictions would be expected to disclose this information. Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 was passed as a result of the Bichard Inquiry arising from the Soham murders in 2002. The Act provides the framework to set up the Independent Safeguarding Authority and the Vetting and Barring Scheme. The main purpose is to prevent unsuitable people from working with children and vulnerable adults. Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 This Act relates to a new Scottish Vetting and Barring Scheme that builds on some of the existing provisions contained in the Protection of Children (Scotland) Act 2003. The Act provides for two lists to be established: one for those who are unsuitable to work with children and young people younger than 18 and another for those unsuitable to work with protected adults. Anyone who wants to work with children will be required to register with the scheme. Unless an individual is automatically barred due to a relevant offence against a child, barring decisions will be taken by a new central barring unit. Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 As only part of the provisions in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 extend to Northern Ireland, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 replicates the remaining parts of the scheme in order to provide a seamless vetting and barring scheme. Mental Capacity Act (2005) New provision relating to persons who lack capacity, a person is unable to make a decision for himself if he is unable (a) to understand the information relevant to the decision, (b) to retain that information, (c) to use or weigh that information as part of the process of making the decision, or (d) to communicate his decision (whether by talking, using sign language or any other means). (2) A person is not to be regarded as unable to understand the information relevant to a decision if he is able to understand an explanation of it given to him in a way that is appropriate to his circumstances (using simple language, visual aids or any other means). (3) The fact that a person is able to retain the information relevant to a decision for a short period only does not prevent him from being regarded as able to make the decision. (4) The information relevant to a decision includes information about the reasonably foreseeable consequences of ( a) deciding one way or another, or (b) failing to make the decision.
