COVID-19 Awareness Tool
Dec 18, 2020
NEW COVID-19 AWARENESS TOOL
sportscotland have developed a new COVID-19 awareness tool for participants (and parents/carers of children and young people) across all sports. This tool highlights the responsibility we all have in keeping each other safe within sport during the pandemic. It will help improve understanding of what you can do before, during and after sport and physical activity to protect and limit the spread of COVID-19.
It is recommended that all players and participants over the age of 13, and all parents/carers use this tool if they or their children are participating in sport or physical activity training, competitions or other events. Please encourage your network to get involved and share this tool with clubs and community organisations across all sports.
"If you are involved in sport in any way, ....it could be canoeing.....this is really important to understand how to keep you safe, but also your fellow sportspeople safe".
A message from Professor Jason Leitch, National Clinical Director about the new COVID eLearning course.
