Managing Risk Across Multiple Providers/Organisations
School sport is often delivered by multiple agencies, each with responsibility for managing risks within their area of responsibility and expertise. The event organiser is responsible for oversight of the Health and Safety Plan for their event, that should:

• incorporate the H&S plans of the facility owner and operator
• the sport (provided by the sport delivery agency or its national body)
• any local or event-specific planning.

CONCUSSION IN SPORT

Here is some important information on Concussions, that all parents and team management should read and be mindful of.

If you become aware of a student who has sustained a head injury or suspected concussion, please complete the Concussion Reporting Form below as soon as possible after becoming aware of the injury.

This form can be completed by staff, coaches, managers, or medical personnel following any incident where a student/athlete has suffered a hard knock or suspected head injury. Please complete this form as soon as practical after the student has been safely managed and placed in the care of a parent, guardian, or medical professional.

⚠️ Important Legal & Medical Disclaimer: 
School staff, coaches, and team managers are not permitted to clinically diagnose a concussion. The purpose of this report and the utilisation of the Concussion Recognition Tool 6 (CRT6) is strictly to recognize a suspected injury, ensure immediate safety, and document the incident for continuity of care. A formal diagnosis must only be made by a qualified medical practitioner.

Mandatory Policy: 
Any student/athlete with a suspected concussion must be immediately removed from all physical activity. They cannot return to play, training, or physical education classes until they have been formally cleared by a medical doctor.
