Accidents at School (Procedure)

The safety of the students in our care is our paramount concern, and we constantly endeavour to ensure that we anticipate, observe and act upon all reasonable measures necessary to protect them. However, accidents and injuries do occur from time to time, often without anyone being at fault. We are unable to offer compensation for any accident or injury which is not attributable to our fault.

Minor Accidents

When students have an accident at school that requires the attention of the school nurse, parents will be notified of the event and details of the care provided and any recommended follow-up care. All such incidents are recorded on the school incident log.  

Major Accidents

Should students have a serious accident at school, they will be taken for treatment at the nearest hospital. As soon as possible after initiating care for the student, the school will make direct contact with the parent/guardian and confirm arrangements for follow-up care.
