Goodness! What on earth is this for??
Ok, let's think here...
A child suffers from a choking incident and you fail to dislodge the offending article or falls from a height and dies or eats something poisonous or has an anaphylactic shock and you cannot resuscitate.
You would follow a version of your emergency procedure wouldn't you?
Make sure other children are safe / cared for
Ring emergency services - Police and Paramedics to attend
Ring parents / emergency contacts
Hand child over to emergency services and take advice from Police - if you are about to be arrested, you need to immediately ring parents of other children to collect (again follow your emergency procedure)
Write an incident report immediately - keep it factual
Ring Ofsted and take advice
Ring your Insurance company to report the incident and for advice
Ring either Riddor or HSE depending on the type of incident
- Ofsted would advise on this one when you ring them

Put phone numbers of the above 3 on your policy for reference
Get yourself a good solicitor
Hope this helps ...
