Young people/Adults
Accident forms are kept and all accidents are noted and investigated. 
Parents are kept informed and a written report completed.

Incident forms are also maintained to note any unusual occurrences,
e.g. challenging behavior, unexpected reactions etc.

In the event of a young person taking a seizure an incident report must be completed

Consent forms for medical treatment are completed by parents and taken on all outings. Similar consent forms for staff are also taken.

All staff on outreach have their own personal phones which have all emergency numbers and on call number in these are used to keep in touch in case of any emergencies.  

Staff

Staff should complete an incident/accident report and give this to Manager.
When completing forms please make sure your writing is legible and you use a pen not a pencil.

All information should be completed accurately with times and dates

The form should then be recorded by the Service Manager in the accident/incident folder which is kept in the main office.

It is the responsibility of the Service Manager to inform RIDDOR if required.
