HEADCASE Concussion Awareness eLearning Modules

In this course you will learn what concussion is, how it looks and how it feels. You will look at concussion prevention strategies, best practice concussion management and why it is important that this is followed.

By the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of concussion and how YOU have a vital role to play in protecting player welfare.

There are six different versions of the HEADCASE eLearning modules based on your primary role in rugby union.

• Coaches and Teachers of Age Grade Players
• Parents and Guardians of Age Grade Players
• Age Grade Players (U13 – U18)
• Coaches of Adult Players
• Adult Players
• Match Officials

All versions of the HEADCASE eLearning module were published in April 2024 and is aligned with the UK Concussion Guidelines for Grassroots Sport (published by the UK Government April 2023).

Although developed for rugby union, the information can be applied to concussions occurring in any sport and non-sporting environment.
