What does British Rowing say about concussion?

Q: What does British Rowing say about concussion?

RowSafe's rule for suspected concussion is "If in doubt, sit them out." Concussion can come from any blow to the head, face or neck, or a blow to the body that jars the head. Coaches are expected to teach crews to handle boats carefully on land to reduce the risk of head injuries. Exercising while concussed can make it worse. All sport should be avoided for 7–10 days, or longer if the concussion is severe. Report head injuries that happen outside rowing to the coach. Children often take longer to recover than adults. Many recover in under two weeks, but some still have symptoms after a month or more. Coaches are expected to recognise the signs and know the need for a graduated return to activity, following the UK Concussion Guidelines for Non-Elite (Grassroots) Sport. If in any doubt, get advice from a healthcare professional and follow it.
