Head Bump Information

We no longer send home letters if your child has a head bump at school, instead you will receive a phone call from a member of staff. We will always take the precaution of informing parents of a head injury, however slight. If you receive a call, please monitor the health of your child using the guidance below. Do not give any tablets or medicine unless prescribed by a Doctor. Should you have any concerns, please seek medical advice.

As with any head knock, it is important to be mindful of concussion, therefore if any of the following occurs, CALL A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY:

• Severe headache – (not pain from the wound)

• Vomiting

• Drowsiness

• Becoming irritable or violent

• Neck stiffness

• Double vision

• Unconsciousness

• Young child crying continuously
