do?Injury and Illness at School-What should you do?
How to Handle Injury and Illnesses that Happen at School
It is unfortunate but a fact of life that children can, and do become injured and ill at school. Knowing the school’s procedures is very important, for all staff members; teachers, TAs and other support staff.
Often the injuries are not serious; scrapes, falls, bumps and bruises are fairly common. Children do come down with
colds and flu, sore throats, and other illnesses. Even though most injuries and illness are not serious, falls and head
injuries may be, as well as high fevers or earaches.
As a teacher our primary job is to make sure the children are safe at school. Knowing what to do if an injury or illness
occurs is critical for our mission to provide a safe environment.
Please respond to these questions:
- Imagine a child has fallen off a climbing structure and is laying on their back on the ground below. What should you do?
- In the middle of the school day, a child is not participating which is unusual. You ask the child how they are feeling and they start to cry. What should you do?
- You determine that an injured child needs medical care. Who should you contact and what should you do with the child while awaiting medical assistance?
- A parent of a child in the class asks you what they should do about getting a flu shot or a vaccine. What should you tell them?
- If you have experienced an injury at your school site, please describe what happened and what the staff did during and after the situation.

Assignment:
As part of our ongoing safety assessments as teachers, we need to make sure our outdoor learning environments are safe. Many injuries can happen when children are outdoors. Many injuries can happen due to faulty equipment and maintenance, but direct and constant supervision is one of the best ways to prevent accidents.
Teachers should be stationed around the playground to supervise specific areas. This is not the time for teachers to socialize and be having conversations in groups. Supervision and facilitating play is the role of the staff when outdoors.
Directions:
- Open the Preschool Checklist and print a copy
- Contact the school where you plan to complete the checklist and make an appointment
- Go by yourself, not in groups
- Take the checklist and fill out each section listed
- If you find safety concerns, notify a staff member
- Add another item you think would be important at the bottom of the checklist
- If you have questions, do not interrupt the staff members, but call the office after you leave
- Be sure to list the name of the school, and the contact information for verification
- If children are present when you are conducting your assessment, do not speak to them or interrupt their play. Try to be as unobtrusive as possible-Like you are a fly on the wall!
