RYA Compliance Toolkit

Welcome to the new RYA Compliance Toolkit which has been developed to assist our affiliates managing the day to day running of the organisation.

The Toolkit is intended to provide general guidance and to direct affiliates towards useful resources. At this stage the Toolkit is most relevant for our affiliates based in England, and there may be subtle differences between the requirements in England and the Home Countries.
