The Rugby Football Union has defined a new role for County Schools' Unions (CSUs), which we have amended to fit our local position.   

Kent Schools' RFU is the CSU for Kent and Medway, together with the London Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham Lambeth. Kent Schools' RFU represents the interests of schools' rugby and recruits new member schools.

e) It can advise and liaise with ERFSU and KGDC on governance issues such as drugs awareness and school tour applications.

f) It is fully involved in KCRFU’s disciplinary process, involving the appointment of a KCRFU Discipline Secretary (who deals with Youth discipline too).

g) It promotes representative rugby to its member schools, but does not recruit and nominate coaches and selectors for KGDC.

h) It promotes, organises and facilitates a balanced and equitable programme of local school rugby competitions, festivals, events and leagues as required.
