| In this week's Club Communications we bring you important reminders on the Club Investment Fund and Developing Club Investment Programme 2023/24, plus information on this year's Club Accident Insurance Scheme. We also bring you reminders on Safeguarding and Player Registration, and resources for clubs taking part in Royal Bank RugbyForce this weekend. |
| Reminder: Club Investment Fund and Developing Club Investment Programme 2023/24 |
|
Two funding models are available for eligible clubs for the 2023/24 season: the Club Investment Fund and Developing Club Investment Programme.
This season’s funds will allow for continuity from last season with criteria designed to support clubs with minimum standards of governance, safeguarding and player welfare.
They are also intended to enable continued progress in core areas of club development planning, workforce development and equality, inclusion, and diversity.
To confirm participation in one of the funds, Clubs should return the signed Acceptance Form (found in the final page of the documents) to rugbydevelopmentadmin@sru.org.uk no later than Sunday 27 August. |
|
Scottish Rugby wishes to remind clubs that following on from last season's change, the Club Accident Insurance process can be accessed via SCRUMS.
Clubs are invited to complete their 2023/24 Proposal Form on SCRUMS by no later than Friday 15 September.
Please note, only those with Club Administrator access will be able to view this section of SCRUMS.
If you need assistance with SCRUMS access, please contact scrums@sru.org.uk.
For all other insurance queries, please contact clubinsurance@sru.org.uk |
| Reminder: Player Registration |
|

|
Scottish Rugby is updating the data collected on SCRUMS, our player registration system.
Adult players were contacted in June with a request that they log in to SCRUMS and confirm their registration information. This includes confirmation that they have read and will comply with various regulations and policies that govern the game in Scotland.
Adult players that have not completed this step will be unavailable for teamsheet selection in SCRUMS and therefore, unable to play in Scottish Rugby competitions during season 2023/24.
Please note, this only applies to adult players. In order for clubs to monitor this situation in SCRUMS, we have added a red exclamation mark (!) next to any player that has not yet completed the task.
Please encourage your players to log in and complete player registration for season 2023/24 if they have not already done so.

Our Safeguarding team will be hosting 24 sessions across the five Scottish Rugby regions, running from September till March 2024, with a pre-course module of RugbyRight: Safeguarding.
