- Sexual misconduct or child abuse: USA Rugby and the U.S. Center for SafeSport require you to report sexual misconduct by or against any USA Rugby member to the Center's Response and Resolution Office. You can report online at https://uscenterforsafesport.org/report-a-concern/. The Center also accepts reports of child abuse (including child sexual abuse) and of intimate relationships involving an imbalance of power.
- Emotional or physical misconduct (for example bullying, hazing, stalking or harassment): you can report it to the Center, or directly to USA Rugby as the national governing body.
- Questions: contact the USA Rugby SafeSport liaison at safesport@usa.rugby.
- Checking a person: the SafeSport Centralized Disciplinary Database lists people with sanctions or restrictions. Anyone listed there can't coach or volunteer in youth rugby.
If a child is in immediate danger, call 911 first.
