Inge Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We had one, contained everything we would need if we were out of the setting for a few hours or until parents could collect.. may depend on where your place of safety is.. ours was the school next door..so our bag did not need as much as others may do But we did include a limited first aid kit,mobile phone with all the parents numbers stored in it, and any other emergency numbers we may need, register with all the contact numbers in it as well,(in case the phone dies on us!) We added a spare set of clothes and nappies if we had any we thought may need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We had one at my last setting with a first aid kit, blankets, nappies, wipes and a box of tissues. My current setting has a box with blankets in the evacuation trolley. After our fire drill last Friday, I pointed out we really should have nappies and wipes in there too at the very least.

lsp Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We have some of those silver foil blanket things. Pound land! (Other discount retailers are available). Emergency numbers, small first aid kit, nappies, wipes, phone goes in on way out. We use a small drawstring bag which is hanging up beside door.

blondie Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 thank you for this - i just pick the stuff up - but in a real emergency i am sure that i would forget stuff. so is the stuff put in at the beginning of a session -how does it work? all info gratefully received - another to do lol what do you do about inhalers -are they put in the bag or put in as you go out - whos responsibility is this?

lsp Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Ours is packed ready to grab. Only extra things we take are phone and register. Would not attempt to get or take anything else. All our medications and inhalers are stored away in the kitchen. I suppose you have to ask is it worth the risk of someone going to get them - in my opinion - no.

finleysmaid Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Our grab bag always packed ...the hall is far too large to be trying to find things at the last minute! The supervisor always checks the premises....if there is time we also grab inhalers on the way past but as the most likely place for fire is in the kitchen and that's where the first aid cupboards are then !!!!!! however we do have a local doctors surgery so we could run down there ...ore even to the chemist if we were desperate (the school is also across the road and I know they have inhalers etc.....if you ring the ambulance service and get permission you can use another inhaler (though to be honest if I needed one i'd just use it and sort out the issues later!)
