Incident Reporting
British Rowing monitors safety incidents in rowing in order to reduce the possibility of them happening again. This is done through the following link: Incident Reporting System
The incident reporting system is confidential and available to everyone; clubs, individuals (members and non-members) and events to report an incident or concern. Reports should be made online within 24 hours of the incident occurring.
Incidents that cause harm or damage, however trivial, should be reported as well as those where an injury, health issue or damage has occurred. Near misses should also be reported as these can provide useful information that may help someone to avoid a serious incident in the future and help to identify trends that can be addressed by British Rowing.
Further information can be found on British Rowing's Safeguarding page on British Rowing's website.
