The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) announced the publication of a new overarching Safeguarding Policy for the racing industry yesterday (18th December). The new Policy, Regulations and Code of Conduct for the sport, will come into effect from 1 January 2019.
The Safeguarding Policy is applicable to everyone who works in British racing and is designed to complement and underpin the existing safeguarding policies that various racing organisations, including Racing Welfare, already have in place.
