As a National Governing Body, the RFU is responsible for ensuring that all those who wish to participate in rugby union in England are treated fairly. All participants should be given equal opportunity irrespective of age, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender reassignment, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marriage & civil partnership or pregnancy & maternity.

We will drive greater inclusion in Rugby Union through committing to understanding, building and advocating change across four fundamental pillars. In each, we will focus on the following actions: understanding people, their data and insights, delivering education and training offerings and engaging all communities already involved and new to the game, and championing the importance of inclusive change.

Advocate: Celebrate the diversity that we have and advocate the importance of inclusion and diversity within our sport and beyond

Understand: The people who participate in our game; who they are and their experiences, both good and bad

Build: A more inclusive culture across the RFU which empowers diversity to flourish – in the game, our workforce and within leadership
