Important learnings and outcomes from the community game tackle height trials in Scotland. – at City of London, London
A new study shows the tackle height law trial resulted in 45% fewer head on head contacts in the adult male community game in the 2023/24 season. Thanks to our grassroots rugby community for embracing the change, as well as @EdinburghUni and @WorldRugby for their work on this important player welfare initiative. More ➑️ tinyurl.com/vukkx7ca

It's been 2️⃣ weeks since our first Safeguarding Community event, hosted at @CBScreening. At the event, we caught up with the @WelshRugbyUnion about how the collaboration between the WSA and CBS has proved a vital support to their safeguarding processes.πŸ“½οΈ
