POLICY:
When an incident/injury occurs, the NOCAC Staff in charge of the child will complete an Incident/Injury Report for Child Care (JFS01299)
PROCEDURES:
- The staff member will fill out the form completely (each section must be marked). See sample.
- An illness or incident/injury is considered minor if a child is able to return to normal activity or when basic first aid is given.
- If a child becomes ill or has an injury that requires First Aid it is considered a minor incident.
- A JFS 01299 – Incident/Injury Report must be completely filled out.
- A copy must be signed by the parent or caregiver the day of the incident.
- Parent/Caregiver gets one copy
- Send one copy to the Transportation/Safety Specialist at the Central Office.
- Serious Incident, Injury or Unusual Event
- Includes any situation occurring while a child is in the care of the provider
- Death of child at the center
- Bus accident with or without injury
- A child receives a bump or blow to the head that requires first aid or medical attention.
