NRURS Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct provides a framework in which Society members can be empowered to create safe, respectful and enjoyable environments. Everyone who is involved in rugby is expected to uphold the RFU Core Values so it is important that our referees, coaches and Match Official Developers all buy into the process.
Disciplinary Procedures for NRURS
This policy sets out how to make a complaint to NRURS. This is the policy that we will follow if your complaint is about someone’s conduct or behaviour not about whether you disagree with an on-field decision made by one of our referees regarding play.
