Incidents
If one child has caused an injury to another child, we will complete an Incident Form for that child. This will explain what happened and the nature of injury caused, and also how we dealt with the incident. The injured child will receive an Accident Form detailing what happened, the nature of the injury and how we dealt with the injury. Injuries will be dealt with following the Accident and Emergency procedure.
We will not name the other child on either form in accordance with our Confidentiality Policy, and parents / carers should not ask for this information as staff are not permitted to discuss a child with another parent / carer.
