Concussion can happen in any sport, at any level. This course introduces the UK Concussion Guidelines for Grassroots Sport, helping coaches, volunteers, parents and participants recognise the signs of concussion, respond appropriately, and support a safe return to activity. By understanding the principle of "If in doubt, sit them out", learners will be better equipped to protect the welfare of those involved in sport.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Recognise the signs and symptoms of concussion.
- Explain the importance of removing someone from play if concussion is suspected.
- Identify the appropriate actions to take following a suspected concussion.
- Describe the graduated return-to-sport process following concussion.
Developed by Sport Scotland, the course takes 35-45 mins to complete.
