Safety Audit 2025/26

Annual Club Safety Audit 2025/26 - North West

Dear Club Rowing Safety Adviser,

The Club Safety Audit is a recognised part of each club’s affiliation and is annually launched in October for online submission. The Club Safety Audit went live on 07 October 2025. The Club Safety Audit, is based on RowSafe 2025.

You must complete and submit the audit with the associated documented evidence online, no later than 25 November 2025. If you fail to submit the documented evidence, your club will be automatically suspended from entering British Rowing affiliated competitions and from BROE2 as of 11 December 2025.

You can save and return to your audit at any stage of the process by selecting 'save and continue later' at the top of the page. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email containing a copy of your submission. Once you have received a copy of your submitted Safety Audit please upload the PDF copy it into your club Google Drive - your club safety documents will need to be uploaded into the Google Drive as well.

For reference, all of your, 2022, 2023 and 2024 documents should be in your Google Drive folder, which you should have access to as the designated CRSA. A how-to guide for Google Drive is available via the following link and opens in a new browser window: Google Drive how-to guide.

If you are unable to gain access to the folder, please email clubs@britishrowing.org.
