We will be publishing resources and key information on the dedicated Return to Play page
On Saturday 31 October, the Prime Minister announced that a new set of national restrictions will come into force on Thursday 5 November. Although the final guidance has yet to be published it is clear that, with the exception of elite and school sport, no sporting activity will be permitted and leisure centres will be closed. It would seem that the current exemption for disability sport will also be removed.
New National Restrictions from 5 November
From Thursday all wheelchair rugby activity should cease and all Return to Play permissions are revoked until further notice. In addition the GB and Talent camps that were planned for November are also cancelled.
We will be carefully watching developments over the coming weeks and will review the position in line with any changes in government policy. As an NGB our number one priority is the safety of all who make up our wheelchair rugby communities. With the steep rise in infection rates throughout the country we all need to play our part in supporting the government and authorities to tackle the latest wave of the virus and bring it under control. This will enable us to reboot our stepped approach to a return to training.
David Pond, Chief Executive
