CONCUSSION & BRAIN HEALTH

Did you know we have a wealth of information and resources around concussion and brain health in football?

Our customised 'Brain Health' pages are dedicated to this crucial topic in football at all levels. It provides essential information, research and guidance for heading and concussion guidelines.

Concussion is a relatively common injury in football and that’s why everyone who takes part in football needs to know four things:

• What concussion is
• How you recognise it
• What to do if a player is concussed
• How to manage a player’s return to training/playing

You can read more about all these aspects in England Football's comprehensive guidelines.

In addition, we strongly recommend you spend 20 minutes taking the online free concussion guidelines course provided by England Football Learning, the education arm of England Football.

Or you can take a quick quiz to test your knowledge today!
