RFU Reportable Event

In order to put the 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 DOES NOT include those that attend an Accident or Emergency Department and who are then allowed home.  

A reportable event can be submitted via an online form here or if your club has access, via the Proactive App (see below).

Injury & Incident Recording  

It is important clubs and other rugby activity providers have a process in place to ensure that injuries and incidents, both on and off the pitch, are recorded and maintained in a secure manner.

In collaboration with Howden & Proactive we have developed a bespoke incident reporting App to ensure that injuries and incidents, both on and off the pitch, are recorded and maintained in a secure manner.

The Proactive App now has several specifically designed features to help clubs with their injury and incident reporting and other elements of their player welfare responsibilities, including:

• Incident reporting
• Dynamic risk assessment
• Pre-session checks
• Medical Emergency Action Plan Templates
• Concussion Tracker
• Integrated RFU Reportable Event form

The App is easily added to coach and staff mobile devices.
