 | Look your forms over well and fill them in as completely as possible. Over time you can
forget the particulars of the incident and the report will be the only document that can
trigger your memory. |
|
| Of special attention should be the area where you describe what happened. This should be
written objectively as if you are giving data only. It should never be accusatory, biased,
or blaming. |
|
| The parent contact area also needs to be filled in completely. Use quotations if
necessary stating parents wishes, such as: "I do not want you to call an
ambulance" or "I don’t think he needs any treatment" and document
parents name who made decision. |
|
| If you as a coach or manager feel child should be seen and said this to parent who did
not agree, document that you suggested this to parent and that they declined. |
