North Midlands CB Schools and Youth Disciplinary Secretary

12/05/14   by Peter Jordan

I would refer you to Appendix 6 of Regulation 19 at pages 301-311 of the RFU Handbook. You may find this heavy going and not an exciting read!! I would summarise thus:

1. First and foremost, David Warner is there to offer advice and assistance. He will be happy to talk to you.

2. Any junior player sent off or to be disciplined is dealt with, in a club game, by the club disciplinary panel and, in a school game, by the headmaster/headmistress or school disciplinary officer. In each case, the referee’s report and the decision should be sent to David Warner within seven days for approval and to review the sanction.

3. Any appeal against an adjudication should go to David Warner as should any citing.

4. Any complaint of misbehaviour by adults involved in Youth Rugby (school, club, coach, manager, parent or supporter) should be reported immediately to David Warner so that he or North Mids. Disciplinary Secretary can bring any necessary proceedings.

5. Any referee abuse should be reported to David Warner straight away.

6. Sentencing guidelines are at pages 308-309.
