In
their 40th Anniversary year, the Drifters RFC, part of Farnham
Common Sports Club, have been awarded the RFU Seal of Approval
and Sport England Clubmark for the Mini and Junior sections of
their Rugby Club. They are the first rugby club in the South Bucks
area and, indeed, the joint first (along with Bletchley RFC) Club
in the whole of Bucks to receive this award.
The award recognises the Safe, Effective and Child Friendly service
that the Club offers all it’s mini and junior members and
is a testament to all those involved in these sections and to
those that help out.
This 'Clubmark' sets criteria in the following categories:
* Duty of care and child protection
* Coaching and competition
* Sports equity and ethics
* Club management
The development of 'Clubmark' by Sport England (a Government sponsored
body) has two main objectives:
* To ensure that National Governing Bodies accreditation programmes
contain the core criteria of safe, effective and child-friendly
clubs
* To enable parents/carers and sports professionals to recognise
an accredited club through a common branding.
Bob
Hudson, Chairman of the Drifters Mini and Junior section, comments
‘we are particularly pleased to have been given this award
and would like to thank all those involved at the Drifters and
Farnham Common Sports Club for their support. Now that we have
achieved this award, we need to build on it and to improve the
facilities we offer children in this area, both on and off the
field. This will help to ensure the future development of rugby
in this area and who knows, we may have a budding Jonny Wilkinson
or Martin Johnson already in our ranks.’
For
more information on playing rugby at the Drifters RFC, please
contact Bob Hudson on 01753 642904, or come down to the Club,
which is at Farnham Common Sports Club, One Pin Lane, Farnham
Common, on a Sunday morning. |
| Equity
policy statement
DRIFTERS RUGBY CLUB
The Drifters Rugby Club is committed to ensuring that equity is
incorporated across all aspects of its development. In doing so
it acknowledges and adopts the following Sport England definition
of sports equity:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access,
recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It
is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure
it becomes equally accessible to everyone in society. The club
respects the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will
treat everyone equally within the context of their sport, regardless
of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality
or social/economic status. The club is committed to everyone having
the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat
of intimidation, harassment and abuse.
All club members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory
behaviour and promote equality of opportunity.
The club will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour
seriously, according to club disciplinary procedures, and therefore
flushing the demon from within on Flushing meadow.
