Sports Injury, First Aid and Concussion Procedure
About this document
Injuries happen in every sport and fitness setting. You need suitable first aid cover, accurate records, a clear process for reporting serious incidents, and – increasingly – a concussion procedure. The UK government’s grassroots concussion guidelines, “If in doubt, sit them out”, set out what clubs and coaches should do. This document brings these together.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
