Dear Brixham Youth Coach/Parent,
Re: CRB Disclosure Application Form
As you may be aware the Rugby Football Union ("RFU") has made significant progress on child protection issues and has developed a Child Protection Policy. This Policy identifies the responsibilities to be followed by the RFU, the Constituent Body and the individual Rugby Clubs. Brixham Youth Rugby Football Club has in place a Child Protection Policy that is in line with the recommendations made by the RFU and as part of this policy it requires all members who have regular supervisory contact with children or management responsibility for those working with young people to undertake a Criminal Records Bureau disclosure.
The Criminal Records Bureau ("CRB"), an executive agency of the Home Office, has prepared a Disclosure Application Form to help employers and volunteering organisations make informed recruitment decisions to protect vulnerable members of society. By filling in this application form and participating in disclosure, you will be contributing towards improving standards, both in our own environment and in society as a whole.
Initially all mini and youth coaches/parent helpers plus the Committee of Brixham Youth Rugby Football Club will be required to complete a Disclosure Application Form which will be sent to the RFU. Refusal or failure to submit a completed form may result in that person being excluded from the Club. This may seem a touch draconian but please remember the intentions of the RFU and Brixham Youth Rugby Football Club. The Club has to provide a duty of care to young people and has a responsibility to protect them from harm.
I will be dealing with the administrative arrangements for the completion of the Forms, including the liaison with the Devon Area Welfare Officer and the RFU.
Otherwise please complete Sections A to D and Section H of the form enclosed.
The form must be completed in Block capitals and Black ink
To complete the form you will need:
