· Inform Ofsted immediately – or at least within 14 days (under Standard 14.3 Children Act
regulation, inform Ofsted about any significant events)
· Inform Insurance Company
· Contact the Early Years for additional advice/support
We follow the guidelines of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences
Regulations (RIDDOR), the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and the Statutory Framework for
the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for the reporting of accidents and incidents.
First aid
At Felicity’s Fledglings we pride ourselves on having 100% of staff paediatric first aid trained.
First aid boxes are dotted around the nursery and visibly labelled up with an up to date
inventory/item list.
The manager is responsible for making sure that all medical information and emergency
contact details on the children’s documents/files are up to date and accurate.
When an accident occurs, it is the responsibility of the first aider to determine whether the
injury can be dealt with in the setting or if medical assistance is required.
Accident & Incident Procedures
An accident is an unfortunate event or occurrence that happens unexpectedly and
unintentionally, typically resulting in an injury, for example tripping over and hurting your
knee.
An Incident is an event or occurrence that is related to another person, typically resulting in
an injury, for example being pushed over and hurting your knee.
Dealing with Accidents or Incidents to Children
We keep written records of all accidents, incidents, or injuries to a child together with any
first aid treatment given. Any event, however minor, is recorded by completion of an
“accident/incident report” and the procedure is the same for both types of events as
follows:
· An accident/incident report is completed by a member of staff who witnessed the event
· The form must be written accurately and clearly
· The form must include:
· Whether it is an accident or incident being recorded
· Date of accident/incident
· Time of accident/incident
· Name and signature of person who dealt with the accident/incident
· Description of accident/incident
· Description of care given
· Name of person who gave care (this must be a paediatric first aid qualified member of
staff)
· Description of injury (if applicable)
· Position of injury illustrated (use body map if necessary)
· Witness signature
· Counter signature (must be qualified practitioner)
· Signature of parent/carer
In the event of an incident, both accident and incident reports must be completed. The
name of any other child involved in an accident/incident report must remain confidential.
