Accidents
occur despite supervision. Minor accidents are treated at school. Slight
cuts and grazes are normally treated by cleaning with cold water and
applying a plaster to the wound. When a dressing has been put on a wound,
parents are requested to inspect the wound when the child comes home from
school.
In the event
of an accident/child becoming ill, every possible effort will be made to
contact the pupil's parents or the persons delegated to take responsibility
for the pupil.
Please

co-operation in this matter could result in a delay in having your child
attended to medically, should the need arise.
Please
ensure that deputies' consent has been received and that they live locally.
Teachers
will not accept responsibility for any medical expenses incurred.

Management recommends that all parents avail of the facility to take out
