Recording pupil accidents and injuries at school

[5tu]

Hi all

 

I've been asked to look into the most effective way of recording (and tracking) pupil accidents and injuries while in school. My first thought was this must be possible in SIMS but it would seem that the only possible place to record incidents is within Behaviour Management which isn't ideal as it's not a behaviour issue.

 

So I wondered what the rest of you good people are doing, if anything?

 

Many thanks

I believe we have a ring binder with a pen and paper in it

Lol @smithson83 - exactly what I suggested but SLT want an online solution that ensures the people who need to be informed get informed.

[smithson83]

I think we have a telephone for that...

We use this - https://www.eeclive.co.uk/

 

Keeps track of all the relevant info. It doesn't have any links to SIMS though, that's up to the person filling it in to deal with (all accident reports go through 1 or 2 people, so they follow the process of contacting the right people).

How about in the medical section under 'Medical Events'

You can the list of event types, so we have 'Accident', 'Illness' etc...

Then you can have subcategories, so for Accident we every accident imaginable, e.g:

Papercut - Back to Class

Papercut - Sent Home

 

It makes a long list but works well. Plus you can record further detail if needed. It's pretty easy to report from that section too.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions - very helpful.

Some schools use CPOMS The general feedback is pretty good and allows you to keep an audit trail per child.

We use a system that I wrote, which is just a web form that updates to a MySQL database. The form can be accessed from the staff, student and site staff portals and, depending on where it is accessed from, has different fields. Staff can report a health & safety concern or a near miss, students a health & safety concern and site staff (who are the first aiders), what ever they want (accident, incident, h&s concern, near miss, first aid or student h&s). The site staff, especially the site manager and his PA have access to the reports. It isn't integrated to UNIT-e (our MIS system), but I think specific events relating to students are entered into that by the MIS manager.

Ive created a simple access databased for ours and it does the job.

 

We did have a phone call from a company thought promoting theirs, i forget the name but they were at BETT. I seem to think they were called medical tracker or something of that name. Obviously its not free but the one i created seems to do the job.

An update to this .. 4 years on. Impero have a new product for free called Impero BackDrop https://www.imperosoftware.com/uk/impero-backdrop/

How does it differ to Impero EdAware?

[timbo343]

Im not sure. I've emailed my account manager to asking to speak to me on Monday about it.

 

We have just started using CPOMS and i'm wondering if the impero offering could be used as an accident log / firat aid recording system which our site manager would be able to run reports from and keep CPOMS for safeguarding only. If any safe guarding concerns occur they are put on CPOMS.

 

It would be nice to see the impero offering sync from Bromcom though rather than using CSVs.

 

If possible it would certainly mean i can retire one of the 5 spiceworks servers we have on site.

I wonder if it would subsitute my on prem spiceworks server that is being used as an accident log. Obs the spiceworks server doesnt sync from the MIS however i have specific rules that when a RIDDOR accident occurs it emails specific staff memebers....hmmm certainly interested in seeing backdrop.

Does that apply to this free product though? I mean, I can’t see why it wouldn’t, but a definitive answer would be reassuring.

We use Evolve Accident Book from Edufocus here - seems to work well, although I haven't used it myself I'm just administrator.

The free version isn't cloud bssed, it sits on an OnPrem server and requires us to install it.

It is cloud based. I signed up for it to see what it is about? You access it here.
