RoR’s ‘Whistleblowing’ Policy
RoR takes very seriously any form of misconduct and expects the highest standards from all those involved with the charity.

However, we also recognise that malpractices can occur in any walk of life and we actively encourage anyone who has genuine concerns about any aspect of the charity’s work to come forward.

RoR’s Image Capture Policy
Please be aware that at the majority of our competitions, educational events, parades, annual awards and other promotional activities, RoR employ an official photographer or appoint a member of the RoR team to capture images, photos and/or videos.

RoR’s Social Media Policy
Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) recognises the importance of social media for communication between its members, appointed officials, independent contractors, RoR staff and the wider equestrian communities. The use of social media provides the opportunity to engage in discussions and share information about the retraining of racehorses, positively promote the achievements of former racehorses in RoR competitions, and highlight their adaptability for second career activities.
However, although RoR encourages its members, appointed officials, independent contractors and staff to make constructive comments on social media, the balance between freedom of speech and the responsibility not to offend, insult or defame anyone in postings or threads should always be taken into account.
