DESCRIBE THE ACTIONS TO TAKE WHEN A CHILD OR YOUNG PERSON ARE ILL OR INJURED

If help is need by a child, depending on the urgency of the medical matter the school must have a first aider, and all staff must know this person and where they are and how they can be contacted.

The providers must notify ofsted and local child protection agencies if there is a serious accident, injury, illness or death of any child whilst in their care and should act upon the advice they are given, anyone who fails to comply will be committing an offence.

Providers must keep a record of all accidents and first aid treatment given, all parents must be informed of any accidents/injuries that a child has whilst in their care and also if that child receives any first aid treatment and particularly important if they have bumped their head.
All parents must be told of any procedures if their child becomes ill or infectious, this could cover being removed from the premises.
Any minor injuries can be dealt with in school and will not need to go home, cuts and grazes can be cleaned but with water only no creams are ever to be allowed to be applied.

If a child reports that they feel unwell even though there are no obvious signs, it must still be reported and told to the parents they are aware to look for anything further if it
