CRB Checks and Clearance
PLEASE NOTE - AT PRESENT WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF FORM REQUESTS ARRIVING AT TWICKENHAM. WE WILL ENDEAVOUR TO ACTION THESE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE CRB WILL ONLY PROVIDE A RESTRICTED NUMBER OF BLANK APPLICATION FORMS, AS SUCH THERE MAYBE SOME DELAY FOR THE RFU SENDING OUT REQUESTS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS MATTER.
The RFU are committed to ensure that all individuals who come into close frequent, intensive or overnight contact with children or vulnerable adults have been cleared through their Enhanced CRB checking process. All these individuals must have completed an RFU-processed, Enhanced CRB check and waited until the 'green tick' has appeared on their clubs RugbyFirst membership record. Receipt of the certificate does not mean clearance has been given as the certificate merely shows the individuals criminal history.
The process:
Complete CRB disclosure application form as per guidance from Club Safeguarding Officer or CRB website – application form guidance
V
Return completed for to your Club Safeguarding Officer who will send it onwards to the RFU’s Safeguarding Unit for processing.
V
[note – in some Constituent Bodies the CB Safeguarding Manager or CRB Administrator do a final check and record applications before being send in bulk to Twickenham]
V
Forms sorted and filed in date order for processing.
[Any incorrectly completed forms will be returned to the applicant for amendment, along with an explanation as to the reason.]
V
Disclosure form processed and entered onto the RFU Database.
V
The processed form is then forwarded to the Criminal Records Bureau.
The CRB will then produce two copies of a Disclosure Certificate. One copy will be returned to the Applicant and one copy will be forwarded to the RFU Child Protection Unit.
V
Any Disclosure Certificate containing additional information will be forwarded to the RFU Referral Management Group for consideration. Otherwise, the CRB disclosure has been accepted by the RFU and will last for three years as of the issue date stated on the CRB Certificate.

Clear CRB checks then have 'green tick' activiated on RugbyFirst
Once this three year period has elapsed a new CRB disclosure application will need to be completed.
