thumperrabbit Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We have the PLA Incident Book and it doesn't have a space for a parent to sign when you have told them their child has 'created' an incident. Question: Is this right, that the parent doesn't sign? Our Incident book is that old that it may have changed, and in which case I need to update ours!

SazzJ Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We have the PLA Incident Book and it doesn't have a space for a parent to sign when you have told them their child has 'created' an incident. Question: Is this right, that the parent doesn't sign? Our Incident book is that old that it may have changed, and in which case I need to update ours! For this reason I went and devised my own. We now have accident and incident forms in one folder as I felt the one we had didn't have enough room to write things down. I am sure parents have to sign to say they have read it.

Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I think it is best if parents do sign - it shows that you take communication seriously, that you have a system of logging important communication. It also provides protection against allegations that you are not sharing information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SazzJ Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Our last ofsted inspection said they needed to be signed as some weren't ( before I started) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I didn't think it was right not to sign, as there would be no point in recording really. That just goes to show how fab this forum is, where else would I have found the answer to that question?! Thank you everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Definitely parent's should sign - I've been looking at other settings Ofsted reports, and the fact that parents are not informed about accidents (in that they haven't signed accident form) is often mentioned as a negative.

redjayne Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Our parents sign both incident and accident reports, and they don't get collated and filed until a signature is aquired , the whole idea of them is for clarity and to make parenst aware of things that have occured with/to thier child whether in Nursery or elsewhere so why wouldn't you get them to sign ?
