If you have a reportable injury in your match it is essential that you complete the Serious Injury Report Form.
Reportable Injury Events
These are defined as:
• An injury which results in the player being admitted to a hospital (this does not include those that attend an Accident or Emergency Department and are allowed home from there).
• Deaths which occur during or within 6 hours of a game finishing.
Clubs and schools are also required to report injuries in which artificial grass pitches or equipment such as sports goggles are involved.
Following a reportable injury the referee should also complete Referee Injury Event Form. More information for referees following a reportable incident and details on how to complete the form
The report should :
- include a short factual summary of what happened
- record details of the teams, team captains, touch judges, referee, coaches, and any medical staff including other relevant people if applicable
- not contain any speculation, opinion or guess work
- be in the referee's own words and should reflect the language used by the referee
When complete, the report should be submitted to the Hon. Secretary of the society, Conal Scholes scholes.conal@gmail.com
