Report and Support
Becoming part of a University Sports Club, there are set expectations that we expect from our members. This can be seen in our Sports Club Code of Conduct.Â
The Report and Support platform is where you can inform the University of anything that has happened to you and/or others. We have a specific UoB Sport and Fitness tile where you can report sport related incidents.Â

MoveWell
We operate a Concussion Clinic out of MoveWell over on the second floor of the Gisbert Kapp Building. This is being led by clinicians – Dan and Jude, physiotherapists who are experienced in supporting those who have sustained a concussion back to sport safely.
Â
UoB Sport advises that anyone who suffers a suspected concussion must attend this clinic to be assessed. If you have any concerns that you or someone else has a suspected concussion, please attend the concussion clinic to be assessed by professionals.
Â
This follows the UK government guidelines. For anyone who has a concussion confirmed, the return to competition is a minimum of 21 days. If the player is not concussed they will be cleared to return to training and competition. In all cases, notification will come from the clinic confirming the outcome of the assessment and any follow ups.
Â
All players who have sustained a concussion will follow the graduated return to activity (study/work) and sport. They will be advised on what they should and shouldn’t be doing at the different stages and supported through this.
