I had a text late last night from a parent of one of my 11mo toddling babies saying that he had been to GP after pick up (because of being a bit unwell and irritable) and that he had a large red mark on his arm which looks like a BURN and do I know how it got there?
If a child has a mark on them, it goes in my accident book, so i was horrifed to get this text (a phone call would have been much better!) as I did not notice any injury. The child was generally irritable yesterday beacuse of being unwell and it is not humanly possible to look at them for 10 hrs a day, it's possible that one of my others could have held his arm a bit tight, I also have it documented that he marks very easily when bumped. I'm going to ask Mum this morning to get the marking easily, investigated by a GP as I dont feel I can continue to care for him if it isn't because of the risk of a false allegation being made. Any advice please on how to handle this.
