Accident Recording and Reporting



Many organisations across the UK are not recording or reporting their incidents correctly, especially when children and babies are involved.  It is important to make accurate records of incidents as soon as possible whilst you can still remember what happened. You must inform parents and carers especially when an incident involves a child or baby.

The kind of information you should record:

  • Casualty’s name
  • Date and time of incident
  • Incident location
  • First aiders name
  • What happened?
  • What is the injury and where?
  • What treatment was given?
  • Was an ambulance called?
  • Were there any witnesses?
  • Any further action

You can contact the Early Years Alliance – www.eyalliance.org.uk or www.pacey.org.uk for medication record books.

Recording incidents

Obviously all accidents should be reported to parents and carers, however serious accidents shall need reporting to organisations such as HSE, Ofsted, CCSW or the Care Inspectorate.  Ensure you understand your local reporting procedures.

Confidentiality

Store all children’s records safely and securely inline with GDPR 2018.
