Oh my days I new nothing about this, im going to give up

It's in requirement 3.51 - just adapt your accident /injury record and make it a 'physical intervention' record instead

So it will now be called Physical intervention record instead of accident form?

I have a line in my behaviour policy about only physically removing a child from a situation if they or another child is at risk of harm.
This helped, along with notes in my diary, when a situation arose and I was reported. All was good in the end but I felt this helped cover me on what had happened and I feel this extra bit has been added for just those situations - I have printed and saved a short form to fill in for parents to sign if I have to remove a child again and avoid going through what I had to endure.

well worth thinking about to cover yourself

No sorry I didn't make myself clear

You still need to have an accident / injury form!

You also need a physical intervention form.

I just took my accident / incident form and...

- Changed the name to 'accident / injury'

- Copied and pasted it into a new document

- Called it 'physical intervention' instead

- Slightly adapted the wording to cover physical intervention

I now have 2 forms saying very similar things but covering both scenarios.

Does that make sense?

Have you made it into and ebook? can I buy it

I have -
Accident form
Incident form
Existing injury - explained
Existing Injury - unexplained

So I need to change Accident to Accident/Injury, A Physical intervention form, keep incident and existing injuries?

Accident form - the wording in the revised EYFS is 'accident and injury'
Incident form - fine - it's no longer a requirement but I imagine it will be very good practice so don't throw it away
Existing injury - explained - fine - you could have one with a tick box for explained / unexplained BUT keep it like this if it makes sense to you!!
Existing Injury - unexplained

So I need to change Accident to Accident/Injury, A Physical intervention form, keep incident and existing injuries?

I thought people might find it easier to change an existing form - you can write a new one if you want!

Hope this helps

Done

**Nannyvicki** · 19-08-2012, 03:07 PM

Great checklist, thankyou, have a week off now to tackle this and check what I still have left to sort out!

**cathtee** · 19-08-2012, 05:05 PM

Just got back from 2 weeks in the sun with mr grey

a little light reading before going through the new eyfs next weekend while hubby puts up next doors shed. Thanks for the check list will be very useful

**AliceK** · 19-08-2012, 06:41 PM

wow. Sarah thanks for pointing me in the direction of your list, it's a great help. However I can now see I still have a lot to do

. There was me thinking I was on top of it all.

Thank you so uch Sarah, this is soooo helpful. Bless you! x

**Bear23** · 19-08-2012, 08:39 PM

Thank you xx

**joannetalbot** · 20-08-2012, 08:18 AM

thank you sarah

it's great to have all the eyfs changes consolidated into one list, makes it so much easier to see whether we are in fact ready !! thankfully i am..........im actually looking forward to the new eyfs starting so that everything settles down, or maybe thats wishful thinking eh

re accident/injury as it will now be called....i use the ncma accident, incident & medication folder (as do lots of others it seems) so im hoping they will re-work their forms to show "injury" instead of "incident". I am loothe to call them and find out though as i will be passed around the office as i doubt anyone will know the answer

my confidence in the ncma is slowly waining....................the webinars i attended back in april were dreadful...it was clear that the 1st batch of people who did them were used as guinea pigs as the content was very basic and just read from the framework (even though i'd checked before hand that this wouldn't be in the case) plus the trainers who conducted the webinars had very little experience of running webinars either so the quality was awful too

and don't even get me started on the new ncma book "the eyfs and you"......i pre-ordered it as soon as it was offered to us.....they took my money straight away (which meant it was in their account for approx 6 weeks before I received delivery) plus they only sent me 1 copy instead of the 2 i'd ordered plus it isn't really a book its more of a "booklet"....its very thin so technically you can't really call it a book and i paid £10.99 for it

i'd happily of paid £5 but not £10.99.....

sorry, just realised i've hijacked this post

but feel better for having a rant

I added a couple of lines in my behaviour policy too - just need to create a physical intervention recording sheet and then I can tick that one off.

Sorry to hear you had an incident reported against you, but glad to hear that by recording it you protected yourself, nice to know that sometimes all this paperwork does have a purpose!

**tas** · 20-08-2012, 03:11 PM

Thank you the list is so helpful

Now to crack on and work my way through it!

**suekibey** · 20-08-2012, 03:58 PM

I can't do anything with the SEF e-book until Ofsted have done their bit and revised the SEF!

I will email all customers and let you know on the forum when it is ready
