Re: Rugby injury surveillance and prevention programmes: are they effective?
I've read this article with great interest and concern. Having worked in child health promotion and protection, I would like to ask whether, given the approximately 12% chance of injury to each child per season quoted, there are child protection issues here? Also, what are the insurance implications for schools if a child is seriously injured on the pitch?
