Did I do the right thing?
Hi
I had an incident today where I had left my assistant for 2 hours while I attended an exam. This all was planned, I would leave at 9am and be back at 10.45am as exam was 9.30 to 10.30. All was going according to plan until I got back to my car after the exam. Car would not start!! :panic::panic: Assistant had been there for 1 3/4hrs at this point.
Called assistant, all kids fine, no problems and explained what had happened. Tried car again and nothing, so called AA and waited! Called assistant again who was still fine and making lunches. I text all parents telling them what was happening and offering that they could collect their children as I did not know how long I would be. All work 1/2hr up to 1 1/2hrs away. All parents said they were happy for children to stay with assistant. AA tried for ages to get me going and nothing, had to then tow to garage and AA then took me home. Assistant was alone for 4 1/2 hrs. All parents contacted again to let them know I was back and all have said they are happy with how I dealt with it.
I am writing up an incident report for them all to sign. Should I do anything else?
Should I have insisted parents collect children?
Thank you
