Purpose

To clearly explain KidHub’s medical procedures in the event of a child getting injured.

Policy

In the event of an injury sustained by a child while at KidHub, teachers will assess the extent of the injuries and treat them appropriately using the most up-to-date First-aid techniques. All KidHub teachers are required to have up-to-date First-aid certification.

<aside> ❗ In the event of an injury that requires emergency medical intervention and where we are not able to get in touch with the child’s parents, KidHub teachers will act on behalf of the parents in obtaining or authorizing emergency medical treatment for that child. Any treatment administered would be on the advice of a qualified medical professional.

Procedures

Minor Injuries

1. Teachers will update parents at the time of pickup.
2. If KidHub teachers have any concerns regarding an injury they will attempt to contact the parent to allow them to decide if they would like to pickup their child early.
3. When deemed appropriate, teachers will fill out a Feedback Report (see Forms and Reports) to be signed by parents.

Moderate Injuries

1. Teachers will contact the child's parents immediately and, depending on the circumstances, contact emergency medical services.
2. Teachers will fill out a Feedback Report (see Forms and Reports) to be signed by parents.

Major Injuries

1. Teachers will contact both the child's parents and emergency medical services immediately.
2. Once the medical emergency has been resolved, teachers will fill out a Feedback Report (see Forms and Reports) to be signed by parents.
