CRFU Representative Rugby Managers’ File
As part of the RugbySafe remit of protecting both players and administrators, the CRFU Representative Rugby Managers’ file has been created that captures a considerable amount of experience, whilst collating information pertinent to Mangers of CRFU representative teams of all ages and genders. Covid means that when rugby resumes, even the most experienced manager will have experienced some ‘skill fade’ and clubs are welcome to use the document as a guide for their own use.

| Lockdown rugby activity During the lockdown period we have a range of activities to keep people engaged, some of which can be accessed below. Coming up over the next few weeks there will be player and club challenges, activity for age grade players and virtual Inner Warrior sessions, support for teachers and parents, webinars for volunteer engagement and club development and regular content for schools, colleges and universities. We will continue to post these across our social media channels so please keep an eye out. In our on-demand videos, we also have a link to the Youth Sport Trust after school activities with Nolli Waterman. For now, we have our #GetYourShirtOn videos and the School of Ruck from the World Rugby Museum to help support parents’ home-schooling by providing physical activities and also interesting trivia, reading, and spelling challenges. Online Training Sessions School of Ruck Government financial support update  We are continuing dialogue with Government and Sport England around the eligibility criteria and application process for impacted clubs to access funding support from the Winter Sports Survival package that was announced by DCMS in November, 2020. No funds have been issued yet, either to clubs or the RFU, and hence please don’t think you have missed out on anything yet. The fund was established to help ease the impact of the loss of revenue due to no spectators in the period October 1st to March 31st and we will update as soon as an agreement on eligibility and distribution is reached. This is likely to be an application process and will be needs based, it is not an automatic grant. Sport England has also updated the Return to Play funding that was confirmed by Government last year. They have increased the available budget, as well as extending the deadline until Wednesday 30 June 2021. In September, we also mentioned Covid-19 Business Interruption Insurance. There has recently been an update from the FCA, and policyholders should expect to hear from their broker, insurance advisor or insurer in the coming days if this applies to them. Further info can be found on our funding page below. Funding Information To read the rest of the update click on the link. |

RFU Coronavirus Update 12th Jan.
| Coronavirus (Covid-19) update This week’s headlines include: 1. Resources to support clubs and CBs through lockdown 2. Government financial support 3. Pause on DBS checks 4. Mitsubishi Motors Rugby Leadership Network 5. Webinars and on-demand videos 6. Digital Remembrance Wall 7. Leighton Buzzard RFC becomes a vaccination hub RFU Headlines  Resources to support clubs and CBs during lockdown As promised, we have created a one-stop support centre to help clubs through lockdown. We have compiled information for you to use as and when it suits your club as we understand that clubs may need this information at different times, depending on individual circumstances. We will continue to update our resources in this area as we have more information. While it sounds contradictory to suggest conducting a good governance health check during a pandemic, the national lockdown does provide a pause in the day-to-day running of clubs. This could serve as a time to assess good governance practices, so that clubs can be in as strong a position as is possible during these times, to be able to bounce back when rugby can return. Alongside this, we have included a reminder below of funding options available to address more immediate concerns during lockdown. If you can’t find the information you need on the pages below, please get in touch with us via ClubSupport@RFU.com and we will respond as quickly as we can.
