What this sheet is for
Keep one record per injury that shows the club did the right thing at the time and did not let a player back before someone qualified said so.
Who it is for
Club welfare officers, first aiders, coaches and team managers in any sport where players get hurt, and parents who want to see the record for their child.
How to use it
- Start a new sheet for each injury on the day it happens, while the detail is fresh.
- Record the first aid given and by whom, and who was told.
- Note where the player was referred and what diagnosis came back, in the words it was given.
- Add a return-to-play line for each stage your sport's protocol sets, with the name and role of the person who cleared it.
- Sign it off when the player is back in full play.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One injury from the moment it happened to the day the player is back in full play, each stage of the return signed by whoever cleared it.
Who cleared each stage. No return-to-play stages or timelines are printed here — your governing body sets the protocol for your sport, and for head injuries in particular. The clearance column records who said the player could move to the next stage.

Return to play — one line per stage, in the order your protocol sets — nobody moves up a line without the clearance column filled

Questions
Why are no return-to-play stages or timescales printed?
Because they belong to your governing body's protocol for your sport, and for head injuries they are specific and change. The sheet gives you a line per stage and asks who cleared it; the protocol tells you what the stages are.
Is this the same as the accident book?
No. An accident book entry is a one-off record that something happened. This follows one injury through to the player's return, which the accident book never sees.
