World Rugby Concussion

Concussion related educational resources for anyone involved in Rugby

Welcome to the World Rugby Concussion Management for the General Public online resource.

World Rugby takes Player Welfare very seriously and played a central role in the development of the 2008 and 2012 Zurich Consensus Statements on Concussion in Sport on which the World Rugby Concussion Guidance for the General Public, and therefore this learning resource, are based.

This resource is designed for anyone involved in Rugby - players, coaches, parents, teachers, match officials, spectators, and anyone else with a role or interest in the Game.

It is designed to ensure that players who suffer concussion are managed effectively to protect their long-term health and welfare.
