Safeguarding & Protecting Children in Rugby League SAFEGUARDING & PROTECTING CHILDREN IN RUGBY LEAGUE Newsletter August 2011 “The Child’s Welfare is Paramount” The RFL Safeguarding Conference Places available to Coaches and Club Volunteers The Annual Safeguarding Conference will take place on: Sunday 25th September 2011 Odsal Stadium, Bradford There are limited places available to attend the annual Safeguarding Conference. The conference provides an opportunity to meet with other volunteers with a commitment to safeguarding and to share best practice. If you would like to attend, please complete the application form and we will inform you if you have a place as soon as we can. If you are a CWO who has not booked a place, please contact Adam Treeby as places are very limited. Attendance at this conference can be used as part of CPD for CWOs and Coaches Regional Welfare Officers (RWOs) Final reminder – please send notice of interest to [email protected] by 10th September If you would be interested in being a RWO then please contact Colette Eden by telephone or email to discuss this further.

Please click here for further information CRB News Each month the CRB produce the error lists for the previous month. As you can see there are still several common errors submitted. If these errors are not spotted by the safeguarding team they will be sent to CRB and returned which makes the process longer. If the errors are identified by the safeguarding team, they will be returned to the applicant which again makes the process longer. If you do have application forms returned to you, please ensure that you send them back as soon as possible. Sometimes people do not return them for quite a while and the application is withdrawn and a new application submitted. Issued by the RFL August 2011 Every effort has been made by the RFL to ensure accuracy in this information at the time of going to press.

Saints Girls (Thatto Heath Crusaders) attempt Guinness World Record The St Helens Girls Rugby League Section on Sunday 14th August made an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the most rugby passes by a team in an hour. Each pass had to go at least 5 meters, be a legal backwards pass, any drop balls or forward passes or passes below 5m didn't count. The target was set at 1500, the girls, subject to verification for the Guinness Book of World Records, smashed the target to set a new record of 2052 passes. The event was held at Thatto Heath Crusaders Rugby League Club, in front of a couple of hundred spectators, who also enjoyed an open day to promote girls rugby league.

Safeguarding Children in Rugby League: Research Project with Edge Hill University Through confidential interviews with the rugby league community, this project will aim to evaluate current engagement with safeguarding across a range of stakeholders within our sport. This will provide important data to inform our strategic planning as we prepare to work through the requirements of the new Framework and continue to work in the best interests of all children Mike Hartill is conducting this piece of research and has already spoken to several Club Welfare Officers, Coaches and Parents. If you have received an email inviting you to be part of this research and have not yet replied, please be advised that if you do not reply quickly your opportunity to contribute to this research will be passed on to another volunteer. Please note: the questions asked are not a „test‟ on your knowledge of safeguarding but are a confidential way of assessing the impact of our safeguarding policy and procedure. There are no „right and wrong‟ answers and your honest answers would be appreciated. WALES JUNIOR GRAND FINALS Wales Rugby League for the first time held all of their Junior Grand Finals on one day and in one location for the very first time on Sunday 21st August, where a large crowd were treated to a magnificent day at a sun drenched Virginia Park. The event consisted of five games which included one semi final and four National finals with over 150 children involved representing six conference clubs. “It was an outstanding occasion,” said Mark Jones. “It was a superb advert for Junior Rugby League in Wales. The standard of Rugby League in this area is improving every year, these finals have a history of producing stars of the future and I‟m sure we saw a number of those on display last Sunday.” (Panthers (Pontyclun) U15s Celebrate) Issued by the RFL August 2011 Every effort has been made by the RFL to ensure accuracy in this information at the time of going to press.

Page 3 of 6 Safeguarding Standards – Wales The RFL Safeguarding Team is assisting Wales Rugby League in achieving the Child Protection in Sport (CPSU) standards. As part of the process to achieve the standards training opportunities will take place over the next few months. The Safeguarding and Protecting Children Courses (SPC) will be organised for club coaches and other volunteers. The Time to Listen (TTL) Course will be organised for any Club Welfare Officers (CWO) new to the post and for any who have not yet received the training. Mark Jones is working closely with Colette Eden on achieving the standards, as is Mark Roley Chair of Wales Rugby League. We will also be holding forums with young people and parents involved in rugby league and we ask that you assist in organising and attending these events to ensure we achieve the standards by the December deadline If you have any questions on the Standards or any safeguarding queries, please contact Colette Eden by telephone or email. REVIEW OF RESOURCES We are currently reviewing the resources that are available to clubs. In order to do this successfully we would like to hear your views on how useful they are to you and your club. If you could email me any comments you have on the resources you have used, we can evaluate their usefulness. We would particularly like to know if you think that a resource is not useful, not in the best format, has missing or unnecessary information or if you can identify any resource that we do not currently supply that would be beneficial to you, your club, players or parents, please let me know. We look forward to receiving your emails to ensure all resources available to you meet your requirements.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Professional Projects from the College of Journalism and Mass Communications by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Rugby League as a Televised Product in the United States of America By Mike Morris Abstract Rugby league is a form of rugby that is more similar to American football than its more globally popular cousin rugby union. This similarity to the United States of America’s most popular sport, that country’s appetite for sport, and its previous acceptance of foreign sports products makes rugby league an attractive product for American media outlets to present and promote. Rugby league’s history as a working-class sport in England and Australia will appeal to American consumers hungry for grit and authenticity from their favorite athletes and teams.

Impact of Not Proceeding with the Development 1.0 Project Vision 1.1 Through the establishment of a Project Board the key partners, Allerdale Borough Council, Workington Reds AFC and Workington Town RFLC have agreed the following vision for the development of a new community stadium in Workington: “The new Stadium will be for West Cumbria: accessed and accessible to the community every day of the week as well our professional Football and Rugby League clubs. Our shared aspiration is to create a compelling beacon for civic pride: that excites, enthuses and serves the community and in so doing, generates sporting ambition and inspiration. The Stadium will replace Derwent Park and Borough Park respectively as the home for Workington Town RLFC and Workington Reds AFC with a development that is fundamentally more compatible with a 21st Century, family-centred, leisure and sporting experience for supporters, visitors, amateur and professional athletes. The Stadium will be efficient, safe, robust, and attractive. Above all, it must be sustainable with a broad economic base to ensure viability and latest technologies to make it financially efficient and minimise its own carbon footprint. The Stadium will be a major component in the lower Derwent Valley masterplan alongside the Workington Sports Centre and at the edge of the town centre.

  • Testimonials Widnes Vikings (English Super League)
    CET CryoSpas Testimonials Widnes Vikings (English Super League) “The CET CryoSpa... has been invaluable in helping the management of fatigue and recovery in our squad of players. Colin was able to provide us with a high quality product that was fitted into a difficult space - the solutions that he provided were much better than the concept that we had originally planned! The product was installed very quickly. The daily maintenance is minimal and fits easily into our busy schedules. All the players use the spa at least twice a week, and feel that it really aids their recovery - when you consider the performance demands that are placed upon the squad, it can be seen why this is so important! I would happily recommend Colin and the CET CryoSpa to anyone who is working with performance athletes.“ Clive Brewer, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach, Widnes Vikings Hull FC (English Super League) “The CET Cryospa is not just an ice bath but a whole new therapy. It’s brilliant, absolutely brilliant!“ reports Paul Devlin, Strength & Conditioning Coach for Hull FC. “I am really pleased to have one. The players love it.“ Fulham Football Club (English Premier League) The CET CryoSpa formed an integral part of the recovery strategy for Fulham Football Club (English Premier League Soccer Club) in their run up to the 2010 Europa League Final in Hamburg. “When used in conjunction with our standard modalities we observed a positive effect on player recovery both physically and mentally.“ Martin O’Connell, Physiotherapist and Mark Taylor, Head of Sports Medicine and Exercise Science, Fulham Football Club.

Critically the review was much more than a desk-top analysis and has sought the views and opinions of key stakeholders; administrators and management of the game; partners; and the fan base, on a qualitative and quantitative basis. 1.3 Data validity has been important to this review and was therefore the backdrop to question design and a broad respondent base. 2 x online surveys; 1 x paper survey; face to face and telephone interviews were tested as appropriate against desk top data. Data validity will ensure that this review provides a strong platform from which to move forward without assumption.
