Head injury in school

[ThisAquaFinch]

If your child had a head injury in school, would you expect the teacher to ask how she has been on return eg was hospital trip needed, did she have concussion? For their own records at very least.
child was sent home following the incident immediately and had 2 days off school following this and still has bad bruising across head and eyes.

If a child turned up in my class having been dropped off at breakfast club after two days of absence, I would definitely assume all was fine because I'd have expected a message if I needed to know anything. I'd ask the child how they were because I care about them, not from any procedural position. As a class teacher, following up an incident wouldn't be my responsibility anyway - if ever anything needed to go further e.g. health and safety exec, it would be the office and senior management that dealt with that. As it is, I work in a small school where we have brilliant relationships with parents and can't imagine any scenario where I wouldn't have known what had happened anyway. The parents and office staff would have chatted when the absence was reported.

Yes okay!! All valid points! I guess i just expected something, perhaps in response to my absence email or somebody to ask or say about the wonky paving being looked into etc. But totally get that was silly now!! It would be up to me as they don’t have a duty of care once handed over.
she said she wasn’t asked by the teacher today but that 2 random teachers she’d never met before came to look at her black eyes

Would just expect to only go back in when fit. Wouldn’t expect them to enquire as to treatment unless anything they need to administer/be aware of re being off PE etc.

This from a mum whose son got concussion at school and nobody even noticed - he got home and started vomiting and I only knew he fell and hit his head when 111 asked 🫠

If it happened at school and school noted the accident and then called you their parents to collect it is then for you to take over the care of your child, for you to judge whether she needs to go to hospital and you to decide when she is better and can return to school. The accident if it is caused by something at school rather than a child running into a wall for example, the school will then need to check the place it happened and ensure any repairs are needed are carried out or the area is cordened off for example. Any check ins while your daughter is off would be unlikely for a two day absence.
