Concussion lesson plans
Resources were launched on 30 September 2015 to assist in raising the awareness of concussion and how pupils should respond to protect their own and others’ health.
The web-based lesson plans provide information for teachers and pupils from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4 to help equip them with the knowledge they need to recognise the signs and potential dangers of concussion.
The lesson plans have been produced by the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) and are available on the CCEA website
