ACCIDENT
RECORD BOOK
As soon as a
childminding contract has been signed, the accident record book must be
filled in with the
name of the child, their date of birth and parent(s) permission for
the childminder to seek emergency medical assistance/treatment if required. This section must be signed.
If an accident or incident involving injury to a child in my care (no
matter how minor) the rest of the form will be filled in as soon as possible by myself. With the date and
exact time of the incident, a description of what has happened and whom was involved, details of any
injury, how the injury was treated and by whom, and the condition of the child following the
accident. The report will then be signed by myself and the parent(s) to indicate that they have seen the
report, and the parent(s) keep a carbon copy for their records. A new form will then be filled out for
future use.
EXISTING INJURIES
This section of the
record book should be used to record any injury, no matter how minor,
sustained by a child that I care for when they WERE NOT with me. This part is
part of my registration as a childminder. It would be gratefully appreciated if you could inform
me of any such injury so that I can be aware and if need be keep a close eye on it. An injury record is a
safeguard for myself, my family, your child and for yourself.

assistance/treatment my plans would be:
