At Hastings & Bexhill Rugby Club we believe that taking part in our sport should be a positive and enjoyable part of our childrens' lives. we want to make sure that children are protected and kept safe from physical, sexual and emotional harm while they are with the Club's coaches, helpers and other volunteers.
