Accidents
and
incidents
where a
child or
young
person
is
injured
on
church
property
or
during
an event
that the
church
is
running
do
happen
from
time to
time.
-
Accidents
are
those
things
that
are
unexpected.
-
Incidents
are
an
act
that
harms
someone,
such
as
bullying
or
fighting.
If
leaders
are
prepared
and know
what to
do in
the
event of
an
accident
or
incident
then it
is
possible
that the
harm
caused
can be
reduced.
Consider:
-
the
need
for
a
leader
with
a
First
Aid
Certificate
or
similar
qualification,
-
a
well
stocked
first
aid
kit,
-
access
to a
telephone,
and
-
access
to
contact
information
for
parents
/
carers.
Permission
notes
for
activities,
particularly
those
off-site,
should
always
include
specific
permission
for the
church
to seek
medical
help in
the
event of
an
emergency.
See our
sample
Off-site
or
Travel
Permission
note.
