Policies on Contacting Parents
10:10 - 10:40 Brief introduction and discussion of policies on contacting parents. Looking at sample policies, forms, etc.
Scenario
In twos or threes work through this scenario.
Part 1:
You are supporting in a Year 3 lesson when LeRoy falls of his chair backwards and bangs his head on the corner of the table behind him. There is some blood but he is still conscious. It does not look too bad.
Discuss:
What do you do?
- Bullet points
Part 2:
He was bleeding but seems ok once you have cleaned him up. Later he complains of feeling sick and you notice that he has an egg shaped swelling on his head. You report this to the teacher and,after looking at him herself, she asks you to give his parents a ring
What do you do?
- List 5 things you need to know and where to find them out, before you contact his parents.
- Then decide what you need to do next.
Role play
In pairs - If time take turns at being both TA and parent.
- Practise contacting LeRoy's carer/parent and what you would say.
Group Discussion
Parents:
- How did you feel when you were told there had been an accident?
- What was one good thing and one bad about the way you were told?
TAs:
- How did you feel waiting for the parent to answer the phone?
- What did you feel was good about the way you handled the situation?
- What did you think you could improve about the way you handled it?
School Procedures for Dealing with Emergencies
!0:40 - 11:00
Fire Safety Equipment
- What fire safety equipment and information do you find in schools?
Look at the hand out (Teaching Assistant's Handbook page 186)
- Why are there different kinds of fire extinguishers?
- Where would you find instructions for their use?
- What should you do if you discover a fire?
Use this discussion and the questions to write notes or make a mind map.
Record Keeping
Schools have a legal duty to keep records of accidents and emergencies. All accidents, however minor, must be recorded. There is usually a school accident book and a local authority form to be filled in. There will often be a classroom incident book or one for the playground.
- What information do you think will need to be recorded?
(Hand out 2 - sample accident form, TA's Handbook pg 191) Working in pairs or alone fill out this form for LeRoy. (His surname is Smith)
Personal Hygiene
11:00 - 11:25
Reviewing good practice
We all know how to wash our hands! Or do we? Is it different when we've been dealing with infection?
Discussion Points
- Why is this important?
- Are there cultural or religious aspects to hygiene practises?
Coffee

- What information do you need to check before giving medicine to a child?
- Why might a child need to carry their medicine round with them?
- What should you do if a child refuses their medicine?
