About the course

 

The online RYA Safe and Fun Course is an accessible, interactive training programme designed to introduce essential safeguarding knowledge for anyone involved in working with children or vulnerable adults in an RYA environment. Delivered entirely through the RYA’s online learning platform, the course uses videos, scenarios, quizzes and guided activities to explain best practice in safeguarding. It covers recognising signs of abuse, understanding different types of harm, responding appropriately to concerns, and knowing how to report issues within RYA procedures. Learners explore real-world examples to help them understand how safeguarding situations may arise in boating activities, and how to create a safe, positive environment. The course also highlights the responsibilities of instructors, coaches and volunteers, emphasising clear communication, professional boundaries and proactive risk management. It concludes with an online assessment to ensure understanding of key safeguarding principles.

The Safe and Fun Course is aimed at anyone working with young people or vulnerable adults in sailing, windsurfing, powerboating or other RYA-recognised activities. It is mandatory for all new RYA instructors and strongly recommended for assistant instructors, race coaches, centre volunteers, club officials and anyone supervising junior activities. The online format makes it ideal for busy individuals who need to complete the training at their own pace while still meeting RYA safeguarding requirements.
