Mindee got badly bitten by a child at soft play this morning but I've gone and run out of incident forms.

Obviously I need to record this somewhere - what shall I do? Would just a handwritten piece of paper suffice?

I would have thought that as long as all the info required is is present it will be fine on a piece of paper. Sure some1 else will be along who knows for sure xx

I did that before, wrote it on a bit of paper, made sure all the info thats required on the forms was on it and got mum to sign. Popped it in childs file.
Mrs O did see it and read it and didnt make any comment

phew thats a relief! thanks x

Silly question?? Was it recorded at soft play?

I agree it's the information that matters not what it's written on.

Hope mindee is OK now

Miffy xx

I often grab a piece of A4 paper and write it down.

Date... time... names... witnesses if appropriate... what happened... action taken... first aid...

I hope mindee is ok xx

Yes the manager recorded it for her records! She was very good actually and even talked to the parent concerned.

Thanks Sarah
Yes she is fine now - her mother was a bit shocked, she was bitten on both forearms and has quite nasty bruises. Mum was ok though she realises that its just one of those things some kids go through.

I was right by her with my 2 other mindees but the little boy was soooo fast I couldn't get to her quick enough.

By the time I had got off the play equipment he had bitten someone else :eek:
