Where children and young people are under the care and/or control of one or more adults, the adult(s) have a duty to take responsible
care to ensure their safety. This duty rests, at different levels, on
the coach, the club and it's management or officers, the ARA and those who advise it.
Fundamentally, duty of care means that a rowing club needs to take such measures as are reasonable in the circumstances, to ensure
that individuals will be safe in participating in the training or
racing which they have been offered or which is permitted at the club.
Duty of care is the
duty to ensure the safety and welfare of others, it occurs in two ways:
a LEGAL duty of care and a MORAL duty of care
