AnonyMouse_13453 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."
