Verona Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 In the past I have had Accident/Incident books from the PLA when I was a member. When I cancelled my membership I got hold of a pack from Chancellor Formecon Ltd that included an A4 sized pad on which to write accidents or incidents. I will be coming to the end of the pad soon and need to get something to write any accidents at Pre-school in. I prefer one page for each accident - can anyone help me please? What do you use?

Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Sue We just use a book with carbon. We used to have the ones from Playgroup Network that were good, but I haven't had chance to order any for a while. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 If you liked the PLA one I think you can still order from them even if you are not a member - but it might have changed. We use theirs because they have one accident per page so it helps for confidentiality and finding them again if you need to refer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I use the Playgroup network one......................and we've been told that it is now a legal requirement to only have one accident to a page, so this book is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I make my own - store them in an A4 ring binder with a numbered index so each child has their own section. Mrs Ofsted seemed happy enough! Has anyone put theirs up in the resources section? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 we use a plain reciept book so get a copy with each one written Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisse Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We just adapted the PLA one as it seems silly to keep purchasing one when most of the book is a repeat of how to fill in.

Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Denisse Do you have a sheet of carbon over another form or just a blank piece of paper? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisse Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We have 3 pocket files, the first with how to fill in the accident form, the second is full of blank forms and the third has a front cover saying that the contents are confidential and we slide the filled in forms behind this.

Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi denisse Do you not give a copy of the accident form to the parent/carer when they collect the child? That was why I asked if you used two forms or just a blank sheet with carbon paper. We use a carbon receipt book so that we can give a copy to whoever collects the child.

denisse Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 No we don't give a copy to parents, should we be???????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We use the form with the body template so that we can mark exactly where the injury is. It was from the LEA. We dont give copies to parents either????? accidentform.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've been told that come September all accident forms must contain a 'body map' ........... well I'm to tired/lstressed/lazy (supposed to working on assignment, but far to easily distracted!) to look this up at the moment, anyone know if that's correct or not? xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We also make our own. I heard that body maps were to be on accident forms too. Think it was on training (possibly EYFS). I will introduce them for September along with copies for parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaryEMac Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We use an accident/incident sheet that we were given by our first aid tutor. It is A4 sized and has a tear off piece at the bottom which we give to parents and the top half we put in a ring binder. The tear off piece has information about what to look for if the child has had a head injury on the back of it. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks for your replies. I might try the PLA if the accident reports are on separate pages. I'll give them a ring to see if they will let me buy one, even though I'm not a member now. If not then I'll use one of the templates you have posted - THANKS A LOT Sue J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peekleeds Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi in our pre-school group we use one we designed which had a body map on it. However at a recent Ofsted inspection at one of our settings we were also asked to include a room plan to show where the child was and the proximity of the staff.

shazzam Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 we use the PLA accident record book now which parents have to sign when an accident is recorded. we used to used our own but ofsted didn't like it as pages could be removed or lost! it has made me think that i should produce an extra slip for the parent/carer to take away though as its not always the same carer picking up the children and you have to rely on them passing on accident information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 If you use the PLA Accident/Incident book, could you let me know whether there is one page per "accident". In the old one (years and years ago) the accidents were listed down the page - parents signing could see other accidents/incidents that had occurred. I emailed the PLA on 21 April asking them how the book was set out and still have not had a reply. Thanks Sue J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Sue, I have adapted the PLA one like someone else who replied above. I photocopy about 50 at a time, print off a cover and back cover, laminate them and then use a ringbinder to make them into a book. It is definitely one accident per page and you just flip it over ready for the next one! (Makes it sound like it happens all the time, it doesn't!!) Hope this helps. Found the website for PLA publications too: http://www.pre-school.org.uk/shop/catalog/...;products_id=58 Accident_Record_Form_2.doc Edited April 28, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think its a good idea to use an accident form with a body map on it. I was uncertain if the one on the pdf someone posted was detailed enough but found this one on google images: http://www.newhamdvf.org.uk/images/Bodymap.gif I'll keep looking!
