Cait Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 We just have a few sentences " In the unlikely event of a child dying on the premises, for example, through cot death in the case of a baby, or any other means involving an older child, the emergency services are called, and the advice of these services are followed. " "We follow the guidelines of the Reporting Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences (RIDDOR) for the reporting of accidents and incidents. " "Ofsted is notified of any injury requiring treatment by a general practitioner or hospital doctor, or the death of a child or adult." "When there is any injury requiring general practitioner or hospital treatment to a child, parent, volunteer or visitor or where there is a death of a child or adult on the premises, we make a report to the Health and Safety Executive using the format for the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences."
Motherclanger Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks Cait ! Its a starting point for me, I think our ey advisor want us to have a seperate policy and procedures so will have to have a good think about this. MCx
