When I am working in the crèche with the children, I make sure that the children are all safe, sometime accidents do happen. If an accident does happen while I am there I would find out what has happened, by asking the child and other members of staff. While I am finding out what has happened I would give the appropriate first aid and recorded it in the first aid book.
For example if a child has banged their head I would. 1. Comfort the child while I checked the child’s head to see if there is any cuts or bumps, making sure they are responsive and alert. 2. I would put on gloves, apron and get the first aid box, if another member of staff was closer then I would ask the to get it for me. 3. Get a cold compress from the first aid box, I would then apply the cold compress to the head. All the time comforting and talking calmly to the child. 4. first aid box, if another member of staff was closer then I would ask the to get it for me. 5. I would keep an eye on the child to make sure they are not sick and checking that they are responsive and there is no sign of concussion. 6. If the cut is severe or there are sings of concussion then an ambulance should called and the parents informed. 7. I would then need to fill in an accident form (I have included one for reverence). Which I will have to recorded what happened, were it happened, what treatment I gave and the date and time. I would sign the form.
Once I have dealt with the incident I put the gloves, aprons and any materials with blood on it should be bagged and placed in the body waste bin to be incinerated.
If a child in your setting becomes seriously ill it is important to know all your children’s medical background and if they have any illnesses that may be affecting them like asthma, allergies or diabetes. You may have children who need medicine you must have parental consent to administer any
