Emergency Loan Scheme
Click here to access information, or process an application, for the first phase of the Emergency Loan Scheme, which is open until Thursday 30 April 2020.
DBS checks
We are implementing a temporary suspension of DBS checks while the government’s current social distancing measures remain in force.
This decision has been made in light of the cessation of all rugby activity and the difficulties inherent in an online ID verification system that will require in-person checks to be completed at some point in the future. The pausing of applications in rugby will enable the DBS Service to concentrate on dealing with the thousands of disclosure requests that are being made by returning keyworkers, NHS volunteers etc.
We will keep this under constant review and intend to resume processing applications prior to the commencement of rugby activity to ensure that clubs have sufficient time to prepare for the upcoming season.
Club Safeguarding Officers will receive additional information by email.

Covid-19 Government & England Rugby support webinar
We will be running a webinar on Thursday 16 April from 7.00pm to 8.00pm to help rugby clubs understand the support available from the RFU, government and Sport England. If you wish to take part in this event, please register in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email which will provide instructions on how to join the event. A programme of further club support webinars will be announced shortly.
Media Support Workshop
As we continue to work our way through these uncertain times, we are looking at additional ways in which the RFU can support the rugby community, and ahead of the next phase of the Covid 19 action plan; Game Reboot, would like to host a media support workshop.
The aim of the virtual workshop would be for us to provide hints and ideas on things you can be doing now to share with your local media. We would also like to have a discussion on what things we can provide to assist you once we are able to get the game back up and running.
Ideally, we would be keen for the webinar to be attended by whoever you have nominated to look after your communications. Please could the HonSec of each CB email This email address is being protected from spambots.
