Cait Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi, I have an Existing Injuries Record, but it's one I made myself. I've looked on the PSLA site and can't find one - does anyone have one. I feel I need something more 'official - looking' than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 we used the accident record with slightly different headings to cover an injury which happened outside he setting... it was one I found on here a while ago now... Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ah - that might be a good plan - I've got the PSLA one, and could perhaps do something with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 we're the same we use a form adapted from the accident form slightly different headings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Great, I've found a copy of the abuse injuries body pix on the computer and I'm going to incorporate that too I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 So this is what I've made up, please can anyone let me know if I've missed anything important Existing_Injury_Form_for_fsf.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 we have on ours a bit about any special care that the child may need whilst at pre school e.g. broken arm needing to be kept dry or no outdoor physical exercise when a leg break fresh out of plaster etc. i like the body map it's much more accurate than writing it down!

hali Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 we use something very similar Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 looks good - will also give you a record of children who are constantly coming in with injuries / marks etc and the reasons why. could be useful in future if any concerns arise later as will have written evidence.

I've looked on the PSLA site and can't find one - does anyone have one. I feel I need something more 'official - looking' than mine [/quote we also use an incoming injury record eg if a child comes in with an injury and mum hasnt informed us we ask on collection and the explanation is recorded and signed by parent and staff i.e during a nappy change one child had a full iron burn which no one though to tell us about!!

Cait Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 That's what the existing injuries form is used for, jaycooks. Injuries that existed pre-arrival at sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 we have a significant incident form, which is similar to the accident record, we always ask parents for explanations if a child presents with an injury and ask them to complete the form. Last week we filled on out as a child told a member of staff 'my mummy always makes me cry', which could be for alsorts of reasons, we spoke to Mum who filled out the significant incident form, she was honest and said that she had shouted at her daughter on the way to pre school and she did cry, mum was fine filling out the form. It enables us to moniter what children tell us, if the same child discloses something else and children can take a long time to disclose, then we have a comprehensive record. Or as in most cases we will never need to add anything to this particular childs form again, it also allows parents to see that we do listen to what children tell us and we will ask for explanations.
