Important: ECB Concussion Guidelines and E-Learning Module
Dear Members and Youth Parents, (email sent to entire database)
I am writing to you to share some important information regarding concussion protocol within recreational cricket. This is a follow up to last year's email but please read.
Please see link to the concussion information on the ECB Website. I would strongly encourage EVERYONE connected to playing cricket (Senior players, coaches, Parents of youth members etc) to spend some time having a read and completing the Learning module (it takes approx 15 mins.to complete)
Concussion Education Module - Overview
The Committee will be insisting all Senior Captains and Youth Coaches complete this e-learning ASAP.
Whilst we always have trained first aiders at every match and training sessions - I would also really like as many others do it as possible. We will be displaying some relevant posters on our website and in the Pavilion at St Sebastian's.to help, also. Even if you did the learning last year please take a short time to have a look and refresh your memory on this important topic/
If you do the course on the ECB website, please help us and complete this form on our website so we know who has done it – We cannot see from the ECB side but want to keep a record.
I have completed the learning
These 3 links are also useful. They will be available on our website too.

The aim is to treat any suspected Concussion of any player very seriously and make sure we manage the situation correctly. The more players and parents who know what to do, the better.
Any questions, please ping me a message or reply to this mail.
Kind regards
