When a child bumps their head, the child is immidiately assessed by an adult in the setting to see how severe the injury is. If the child is concious they are taken to the medical room where a First Aider will apply a cold compress to the bump.

If any serious than this, the parent will be informed to take the child to the family doctor, to be further checked out.
Meningitis is a very common and serious illness in children. There are several strains of meningitis and the immunisation in the UK that offer protection from some. However if suspected that a child may have meningitis, it is essential to react immidiately, and to further seek medical help. It is important to call 999 and also inform the child's parents.
