On this week’s Sport’s Cutting Edge episode, we heard from the founder of Safeguarding You, Adam Wood on how he utilises his company to support volunteers at community sporting clubs to better understand the process of risk management in sport clubs. Adam has been heavily involved with his own children’s sporting clubs, and understands the difficulty in navigating the need to report and adapt to issues that arise. Concussions are currently of great interest within the AFL, particularly exploring the trend of under-reporting, and the risks associated with trying to get back on the field. Safeguarding You is constantly evolving, creating new technology to allow teams and groups to monitor what they’ve done in the past, and prepare for their future.
