Injury management Basic minimum standards of pitch-side care have been established and communicated to all clubs and schools. In conjunction with the RFU, work on establishing basic minimum standards of pitch-side care is ongoing. In the interim period the basic minimum standard of pitch-side care across all levels of rugby is for a responsible adult to be present with the means to contact the emergency services. The Team Attendant Course was rolled out across the country in 2010 All team managers are encouraged to take the online IRB Rugby Ready course (this can be accessed at www.irbrugbyready.com)

Risk assessment Scottish Rugby is creating risk assessment templates for all areas of development, coaching and performance work. Game management guidelines – including pre match protocol – have been produced by Scottish Rugby for all youth coaches, teachers and referees to use prior to games, to reduce any areas of potential increased risk.
Insurance Insurance guidelines were circulated to all clubs and schools prior to the start of this season (2011/12). Scottish Rugby will update its insurance company on any changes in the policy.
