Reportable Injury Events
In order for the RFU to put appropriate support in place, it is crucial that all reportable injury events are submitted to the RFU.
These are defined as:
- An injury which results in the player being admitted to a hospital
- Deaths which occur during or within six hours of a game finishing
It doesn’t include those that attend an Accident or Emergency Department and who are then allowed home.The RFU request that as well as the Club/School completing an injury event form, the appointed referee should also complete one.
Further advice, guidance and the event form can be found on the RFU website:
