Other people that should be informed are people such as social services if the child is in care or there is previous history with social services. Other professionals the child may be involved with such as behavioural managers and physiotherapist should be told and information should also be shared with school governors so that policies can be reviewed and see if things can be changed to prevent the accident happening again.

As a school we are required to have policies and procedures for all the staff/adults and

P4 - explain possible priorities and responses when dealing with two particular incidents or emergencies in a health or social care setting.

There are first aid kits within school and they are kept up to date by the nominated first aiders. The school also has portable first aid kits for trips and visits away from the school grounds. The policy sates that if a serious incident occurs such as unconsciousness, severe allergic reaction, suspected fractures etc., 999 must be called along with the parents immediately.

| State how emergencies should be responded to in accordance with organisational authorisation and personal skills when involved with fires, spillages, injuries and other task-related hazards.

When an emergency situation arises, it's essential that you are able to recognise it, as well as respond. Emergency situations such as fires are suddenly notice and quick recognition can be crucial. When aware of a fire, alert the nearest fire alarm and evacuate the building through the nearest fire exit. If you at any point in the school day hear the fire alarm. Everyone must immediately leave the building via their nearest fire exit (this is rehearsed often throughtout the year to make sure everyone is fully aware of what to do). If a child has an illness, then you must first speak to the child in question and become

The first step to any emergency action plan is to conduct a hazard assessment and the best way conduct to do that is to conduct a walk-through of the facility or area (Haight, 2012). In this scenario, our facility is a service station with fuel holding tanks and convenience store items which is located in close proximity to the center of town, a housing development, an elementary school, playground, baseball field, and wooded area. The nature of the business makes it a hazard, the location of it makes it a hazard to the community. Using the General Behavior Model, possible hazards and their reactions, as well as ways to prevent them are discussed.

Emergency, such as a chronic illness or a childhood disease may occur in any situation. It is important that teachers in any early childhood education situation be prepared to handle emergencies. For example, a child who is diabetic, it is necessary that teachers, should have some knowledge of the disease, know how to take proper action, and that teachers have knowledge about the right diets and nutrition for the child and the child’s family. Our textbook, “Safety, Healthy……., written by ……………, suggested that “teachers must plan for emergencies, be prepared to handle emergencies, and be equipped with the training necessary to deal with life-threatening emergencies as they occur…” (162).

When you become a member of our team in Summerfield House it is your duty to follow the incident and emergencies procedure.

To begin, it is very important to train all university personnel on proper protocol when an incident occurs. This is primarily true due to the often large and diverse backgrounds of college campus. What makes a college so unique can also be the reason for unforeseen circumstances to occur. As such, all viable personnel should be trained. The content of the training will be universal and apply to stakeholders. The training will occur twice a year in order to provide new

Schools have to put a crisis plan into effect the first day of school. Each school needs to have a special team to handle crisis situations within the school. School administrative should make sure that the school is equipped with different supplies when it comes to a crisis. A crisis can be a student that breaks out with lice, or a student that came to school with a bb gun on him. If these situations do occur the school administrative will have to be prepared to handle the situations. First thing is to always call a meeting with the administrative team and the student with the situation. Make sure that the student is in an isolated place and not around other students until they are picked up or released.

Counselor assisted the with a fire safety worksheet as described in “ phoning for an emergency”.

Staff should know their roles and responsibilities during an incident and they should be cognizant of the contingency policies, procedures and the team members. Exercises will give the team the necessary knowledge, skills and tools need to handle incidents when they occur. The tabletop exercise will make the exercises involving simulated incidents more useful for preparing staff for incident handling (800.61).

Schools should make use of stakeholders in dealing with a crisis. One of the major stakeholders of the schools is parents. In a crisis intervention plan, parents are responsible for helping to teach the importance of having plans in place to deal with an emergency situation. One of the easiest methods to do this is by having fire escape plans in place and practice them regularly. Parents also are responsible for following proper procedures when picking up their child after a crisis has occurred. They are also responsible for getting any help for the student at home that they may need to deal with the situation by working closely with the schools. In addition, the school often uses the local trauma center as a stakeholder that can offer

Accidents are prone to happens at an time and anywhere, where disaster management is introduced early to learners so that they know how to react to therefore avoid causing more destruction; for example in the fatal security drill that occurred Strathmore university in 2015 where security experts faulted the fact that students were not aware of the drill and had not been prepared on how to react in such a situation.
