How do you cover riddor when working with children?

Answer 1

RIDDOR- reporting of injuries, diseases occurences regulations (1995)

This legislation means that anybody within a workplace has to report injuries and illnesses (diseases). Although many workplaces already did this, it is now the law and it is against the law if you do not follow this.

When working with children it is fairly similar. Ensure that all accidents are written down in an accident book, settings should have their own paper work about settings. Many will have letters that can be given out to parents about the accident; it is important that these are completed and given to the parent ASAP.

Settings have their own procedures of what to do if a child injures themself and it is important that these are followed as much as possible.
