Concussion from a Kickabout

Available for over a year

In 2011, 14-year-old Ben Robinson died after multiple knocks to the head on a rugby pitch in County Antrim. His dad, Peter, has been campaigning to raise awareness of the risks of concussion ever since. Now, there's new guidance for grassroots sports clubs across the UK. It says anyone with suspected concussion should be immediately taken off the pitch to rest for at least 24 hours. And it says they shouldn't be allowed back to competitive sport for 21 days.The advice is aimed at parents, coaches, referees and players. So the BBC's health correspondent Jim Reed has been to meet Ben's dad - and current players - to hear how seriously the risks are being taken. Image Credit: Getty
