Do they have to fill them in? My question arises as my son has had two quite nasty injuries while in the care of the same supervisor. He is in reception (4yrs old) no accidents/incidents last term at all, this term they have a new supervisor. Last Tuesday as I stripped him for a bath a noticed he had a big horizontal bruise on one of his buttocks- looked like he'd been hit with a stick! His explanation was that he'd fallen onto a balance beam and hurt it,cried and when a friend fetched the supervisor she said to leave him alone because he was crying
I spoke to his teacher the next morning,really because it so looked like a cane Mark I didn't want anyone seeing it in the toilet and thinking it was me! She knew nothing about it and when I mentioned the name he had told me of the supervisor her reaction was "oh God" followed by "she is supposed to tell us", no accident report for that. Today I was called at one and told he had fallen and cut/bruised his lips and I should pick him up, so I did. Again no accident report. He had blood all down his front, on his face, up his nose and a very swollen mouth. According to him the lunchtime supervisor was "playing with some girls" so he had to go inside alone and find someone to help him. I know accidents happen, of course they do, but are they not supposed to fill in a form to state what happened/ what was done? The reception playground is small, fenced in and only for their year so I fail to see how she couldn't have noticed a child covered in blood! I am quite cross with the way it's been handled and if I knew who it was who did handle it I wouldn't be basing my reaction on the word of a four year old, what to do now? Who should I speak to 're lack of info?
