Source: Sport Minister launches new sports concussion programme in West Lothian
Sport Minister Maree Todd launched a new sports concussion awareness programme in West Lothian which will improve the knowledge of concussion for pupils and the wider school community.
The launch marks the 10-year anniversary of the Scottish Sports Concussion Guidance, a world first when it was published in 2015, bringing together medics, academics, parents, sports, Scottish Government and sportscotland to produce a single set of advice for all grassroots sports for the first time.
The programme will be trialled through Active Schools during the current school year, initially starting in West Lothian at Deans Community High School and Winchburgh Academy with the aim to roll it out over the coming years across the Active Schools network which includes all 32 local authority areas.
