Major award for Wales Rugby League WALES RUGBY LEAGUE has
achieved two major awards as they continue to build and improve the organisation. The national governing body has
been awarded the Level 3 Safeguarding Standard, as well as being awarded the highest grading in the Sport Wales Self Assurance process for the fourth year in a row. The Safeguarding Standard was
awarded jointly by Sport Wales and the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit. In gaining the Level 3 Standard, Wales Rugby League successfully presented to the panel and submitted evidence relating to 30 separate safeguarding criteria.
National Development Manager
Idris Evans said: “We have worked very hard over the last 12 to 18 months to get where we are now - writing new and re-writing old policies, up-skilling staff and volunteers and sharing information with clubs so that children and young people can feel safe playing the sport of Rugby League in Wales. “We have had some great support
from our team of safeguarding volunteers across Wales in Martin Roddy, Mark Jones and Mark Parry, as well as the support from the Board through Chris Thair. “We’d also like to thank the
NSPCC and Sport Wales for their support in gaining this standard.”
Anne Tiivas, the director of the
Child Protection Sports Unit, said: “We would like to congratulate Wales Rugby League on achieving Level 3 of the Safeguarding Standards. We thank the organisation for your contribution to creating a safe environment for children and young people that works towards the framework for safeguarding and protecting children in and through sport in Wales.” Wales Rugby League CEO Chris
Thair said: “Receiving awards and recognition from three separate bodies in the same month is testament to the fantastic work taking place within Wales. This journey is far from complete and there remains much
Raymond, but his shot was pushed wide by the Villa keeper. The home side opened the scoring
when Leahy drilled a low shot in from a tight angle with 20 minutes of the game gone. Villa battled throughout the
game but were unable to break their opponents down and at half time, the score remained 1-0. It was 2-0 15 minutes into the
second half as Leahy controlled the ball well on the edge of the box before firing an excellent shot into the top right hand corner of the net. Will Haworth then got his name on
work to be done but it does show we are on the right road. “The self-assurance grading just
reinforces our own beliefs. We have good governance, are led well, have small financial reserves alongside good financial management and a clear direction of travel. Most importantly, we have some good people involved who will ensure this will continue into the future. “We wish to dedicate the Level 3
safeguarding award to ex-WRL board member Martin Roddy, whose health is sadly suffering at the moment. Martin has been the long-time stalwart of safeguarding within our organisation and the main instigator in ensuring it is of the highest priority. We are extremely grateful. “Finally, to hear John Kear say
the score sheet as he tapped the ball in after a scramble in the box. The result was put beyond any
doubt with five minutes to go when Leahy was brought down in the box. After picking himself up, Leahy stroked the penalty home to make it 4-0.
The win takes them into the semi-
finals where they will face Hakin on February 22. For now, they will return to league
action and having been knocked off the top, they will be keen to get another win when they take on Narberth away on Saturday (Jan 28).
at a recent meeting and subsequently in a public interview with Sky Sports that Wales Rugby League is the best organisation he has been involved in speaks volumes for our culture and practices. These comments reflect how we always try to do things in the right way with good values and practice, are supportive as a board and is a wonderful reflection upon the staff and players involved in the national team. They are a special bunch of people who will rightly go into 2017 Rugby League World Cup with a great deal of pride.” Wales Rugby League still have
some remaining shirt sponsors for the World Cup and if by reading this, your business would like to hear more, then email Chris Thair on
