First Aid Procedures Minor First Aid can be administered by any member of staff. All staff during the course of a school day have a duty of care to pupils both inside and outside of the classroom. Should a child require minor first aid during a lesson, this should be provided in the first instance by the Teaching Assistant supporting in the classroom. If no Teaching Assistant is present and the injury cannot be dealt with swiftly by the class teacher, the child should be sent to either Mrs Hamer or Mrs Walker (please see timetable for availability). Every classroom has a First Aid Box and a green book to log incidents/injuries and treatment etc. This information must, at the end of each day be transferred into the school s accident book. It is the responsibilities of the class teacher to ensure that classroom First Aid Boxes are checked and replenished. Mrs Hamer to ensure the main First Aid Box outside of the Hall is fully stocked and Mrs Walker to maintain the First Aid Box in the office, ensuring each box is checked and documented. Stock replenishment requests to be sent to Mrs Eyden. During morning and afternoon break, all members of staff on duty (KS1 Yard and KS2 yard) must take with them a First Aid Bum Bag. Minor injuries must be treated by staff on duty and recorded in the green book provided. This information must again be transferred into the school s accident book at the end of the day at the latest. Bags must be replenished by staff on playground duty at the beginning or end of each week. First Aid during lunchtime will be administered by the Supervisory Assistants using the same procedures. Any injuries of a more serious nature will be seen in the first instance by Mrs R Cash and in her absence, Mr C Broome, Mr J McCartney or Mrs A Burton. Staff should avoid sending all minor injuries to the school office when they can be dealt with immediately by other staff members closer at hand. In case of serious injury, the following members of staff are currently First Aid at Work qualified: Mr C Broome, Mrs A Burton, Mrs S Walker, Mrs J Hamer, Mr J McCartney and Mrs R Cash Paediatric First Aiders include: Miss E Forrester, Miss D Johnson and Mrs K Torr

Information recorded in the school s accident book will be transferred to individual pupil record files by Mrs K Sales. The School s Designated First Aid at Work Officer is Mr C Broome. Please see Green First Aid posters situated around the school for location of other qualified First Aiders. Appointed Person s are Mr J McCartney, Mrs S Walker and Mrs M Eyden Emergency telephones are located in the office and school kitchen. Emergency contact numbers of pupils can be found in the metal wardrobe in the school office. These procedures must be read in conjunction with the First Aid Policy.

Appointed persons designated and aware of their responsibilities 1. Application This policy applies to all council workplaces and work situations 2. Introduction First aid is the immediate treatment necessary for the purpose of preserving life and minimising the consequences of injury or illness until expert medical assistance can be obtained. First aid also includes the initial treatment of minor injuries, which will not need treatment by a medical practitioner. The object of first aid is to offer assistance to anyone injured or suddenly taken ill before expert help from a doctor or nurse is available, or before an ambulance arrives. The aims of first aid are threefold: Saving life by prompt and initial action; Preventing the injury or condition from deteriorating; Helping recovery through reassurance and protection from further danger. 3. Aims and Objectives To implement and maintain effective systems for ensuring the provision of adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities and personnel at individual workplaces and during off-site activities.

4. The Arrangements for Applying the Policy 4.1 First Aid Provision There must be adequate and appropriate provision of first aid equipment, facilities and appropriately trained staff to enable first aid to be administered to employees and non-employees if they become injured or ill. The actual level of first aid provision at each workplace will be decided based on an assessment of need. The Assessment of First Aid Provision Appendix 1 lists the main factors to be considered when undertaking an assessment of the establishment s first aid needs. Where an establishment s assessment identifies a comparatively low risk to health and safety, managers may only need to provide a clearly identified and suitably stocked first aid box and an appointed person to look after first aid arrangements and take charge in emergencies. An appointed person must be on-site at all times when there are personnel on-site. However, where the work involves particular risks, for example work with hazardous substances or with dangerous tools or machinery, first aid needs will be greater and managers may need to increase the number of first aiders so that someone is always available to give first aid immediately following an incident. It is important to ensure that first aid provision is adequate and appropriate during all working hours, so planned annual leave, maternity leave of first aiders and appointed persons must be covered. If first-aiders are absent, an appointed person must be available. Managers should consider what cover is needed for unplanned and exceptional absences such as sick leave or special leave due to bereavement. An emergency first aider (EFAW) may be provided in addition to, but not replace, the required number of first aiders (FAW) with the current First Aid at Work Certificate. It may be appropriate to train appointed persons or others to be an emergency first aider (EFAW) if the assessment indicates that no first aider is required but large numbers of the public visit the premise. Table 2 in The Assessment of First Aid Provision form Appendix 1 gives an outline indication of the level of first aid provision according to type of risk and numbers employed. Managers should use this information to help determine and record the appropriate level of provision for their establishment. A First Aider (FAW) is someone who has undergone an approved training course in First Aid at Work and who holds a current First Aid at Work Certificate. (See section on training for more details). Their role involves: undertaking first aid treatment in accordance with their training, summoning an ambulance or other external medical services,

liaising with staff, to ensure first aid kits in the classrooms are fully stocked and refilled after use. Ensuring main First Aid boxes outside of the Hall and the school office are checked and replenished frequently. keeping suitable records of all treatment administered. An Appointed Person is someone who is nominated to take charge of a situation in the absence of a qualified first aider or emergency aider. Their role includes: taking charge when someone is injured or falls ill, calling an ambulance (where required), and being responsible for first aid equipment e.g. purchasing of stock to replenish supplies. Appointed persons who are not first aiders should not attempt to give first aid for which they have not been trained. They may give emergency first aid where trained to do so (normally by completing the Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate). An Emergency First Aider (EFAW) is someone who has undergone an approved Emergency First Aid at Work training course (of minimum one day duration) and who holds a current Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate. They are normally used in low hazard locations where the majority of people that may need first aid are members of the public and not employees. Their role involves: undertaking basic emergency first aid in accordance with their training, summoning the assistance of a First Aider where available, summoning an ambulance or other medical services liaising with staff to ensure first aid kits are fully stocked and refilled after use. keeping suitable records of all treatment administered eg. completion of accident book Please read in conjunction with the First Aid Procedures. 4.2 Additional First Aid Requirements Early Years The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage requires that at least one person who has a current Paediatric First Aid Certificate must be on the premises at all times when children are present. In addition there must be at least one person on outings who has a current paediatric first aid certificate. It is important to ensure that first aid provision is adequate and appropriate during all working hours, so planned annual leave, maternity leave of Paediatric First Aiders and Appointed Persons must be covered. Managers should consider what cover is needed for unplanned and exceptional absences such as sick leave or special leave due to bereavement. In these circumstances it is appropriate that the services of a person who holds a current First Aid at Work Certificate be used to provide cover. The criteria for effective paediatric first aid training is included in Appendix 1 of Practice Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

4.3 First-Aid Materials and Equipment Once the assessment of first aid provision has been undertaken, the necessary materials, equipment and facilities must be provided and maintained in accordance with the determined need. This will involve ensuring that first-aid equipment is suitably marked, easily accessible and available in all places identified by the assessment. Each workplace should have at least one first aid box supplied with a sufficient quantity of first-aid materials suitable for the particular circumstances, including the disposal of sick and other bodily fluids (please see procedures for disposing of sick). Large sites will require more than one first-aid box. All first aid boxes must be identified by a white cross on a green background. First-aid boxes should be easily accessible, and sited, if possible, near to hand washing facilities. Each class has their own portable First Aid box. First aid boxes must only be used to store first aid materials and nothing else. They must not contain tablets, medications, creams etc. First Aid bum bags are available for use during lunch and break times. Designated persons must regularly inspect the contents of first-aid containers and boxes and the contents must be restocked as soon as possible after use. (Please refer to First Aid Procedures). Sufficient supplies should be held in a back-up stock on site. Care should be taken to discard items safely after the expiry date has passed. Reference should be made to Appendix 2 for further guidance on the content of first aid boxes. 4.4 First Aid Arrangements at Individual Premises Members of the Senior Leadership Team are responsible for undertaking first aid assessments, ensuring adequate first aid arrangements at individual premises. These include ensuring that: - there are sufficient numbers of first aid trained personnel to meet the need identified in the assessment throughout the times that the premises are in use; there is adequate provision of first aid equipment which is stored in suitable containers; sufficient notices are displayed at appropriate places indicating the location of first aid equipment and trained first aiders so that assistance can be quickly summoned. These should be reviewed and amended regularly. An example of a suitable first aid notice that is coloured green/white is attached as Appendix 3; adequate access to a telephone is always available to call emergency services when required; where the workplace is shared/multi occupied, co-ordinate first aid arrangements with the other occupiers and ensure information is shared as necessary; Managers inform employees of the local first aid arrangements at induction and whenever changes are made;

staff are made aware of the location of first aid equipment/facilities and personnel; visitors and contractors are provided with information regarding first aid procedures and how to access first aid provision prior to commencing work, if this will be available to them whilst working onsite; records are maintained of: - checking of first aid boxes; all first aid administered must be recorded in the accident books which are kept alongside the first aid boxes (outside school hall and in school office) any incidents recorded in the green books must be transferred to the main accident book. Information recorded in the school s accident book will be transferred to individual pupil record files to aid accident reporting. (Refer to HR52 for detailed advice on accident recording). Managers are responsible for assessing the first aid requirements for offsite activities where there may be an increased risk of injury. 4.5 Assessment of First Aid Requirements A first aid assessment must be completed for all workplaces. The assessment procedure is as follows: A member of the Senior Leadership Team shall make a formal assessment of first aid requirements. The Assessment of First Aid Provision Form (HSF 16) shall be used to record the assessment. The Health and Safety Officer shall keep the completed assessment readily available in his/her risk assessment file (i.e. at point of use). The Bursar and Health and Safety Officer will monitor the adequacy of first aid provision and revise as necessary. The Bursar and Health & Safety Officer shall review the assessment annually, in the light of any significant changes or if there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid. Where activities are arranged in the community, the organising teacher should undertake an assessment to determine whether first aid equipment should be provided. E.g. plasters or travel first aid kit. Employees who spend a significant amount of time away from their main workplace must have their first aid needs assessed. 4.6 Training of First Aid Personnel Employees who volunteer or are selected to be first aiders should be suitable for the task. For example, an individual who is susceptible to fainting at the sight of blood is unlikely to be a suitable first aider. All employees who undertake first aid duties must be competent to carry out their role. The content and duration of training necessary will depend on the role of an individual.

Course HSE Approved First Aid at Work Certificate (FAW) HSE Approved Emergency Aid Certificate (EFAW) Intended For Duration of Course First Aiders 3 days Emergency First Aiders and Appointed Persons if deemed necessary (From October 2009) Refresher training Annual basic skills update 3 hours *Strongly recommended from October 2009 1 day Annual basic skills update 3 hours *Strongly recommended from October 2009 When revalidation is required Before certificate expires (3 years from date of certificate) Before certificate expires (3 years from date of certificate) In certain cases, where activities might expose individuals to unusual risks e.g. remote outdoor activities, additional specifically focused training might be necessary according to the circumstances. Appointed persons are not first aiders and so should not attempt to give first aid for which they have not been trained. However, as the appointed person is required to look after the first aid equipment and should ideally know how to use it, managers are strongly advised to consider the need for emergency first aid training for appointed persons. 4.7 Liability The County s insurers have confirmed that our employer s liability insurance policy will provide indemnity for staff acting as first aiders or emergency aiders as defined above. First Aiders and Emergency First Aiders must ensure that any treatment they give is administered in accordance with the training they have received. Whether or not employees receive payment for acting as first aiders is irrelevant in this respect and has no effect on the provision of insurance cover. So long as treatment is administered with good intent and in accordance with current good practice, the County Council and its insurers will support the actions of its employees in the event of a legal case relating to first aid treatment. 4.8. Payment of First Aiders Payment can be made to certified First Aiders (FAW) (support staff) who are recognised by their establishment as being necessary to meet the minimum requirements identified by the assessment of first aid needs at the individual premises. The payment amount is 246 per annum ** and is paid monthly. Payment will not be made where the job requires the job-holder to have a full First Aid at Work Certificate (i.e. first aid duties are in respect of service users, not staff) and/or where this requirement is demonstrably reflected in their grade. Payment will not be made to Revalidation Training 2 day revalidation Repeat of original 1 day course.

Appointed Persons or Emergency First Aiders (EFAW). Any queries relating to payment of First Aiders should be referred to Directorate HR units. If an establishment has more certified First Aiders (FAW) than the minimum requirements identified by the assessment, it is a matter for the unit to determine whether it is prepared to recognise and meet the cost of paying any qualified first aider in excess of the identified minimum requirement. Managers should consult with HR prior to deselecting anyone who is currently a first aider to ensure consistency of treatment throughout the county council. ** This figure was correct on 16 th June 2009 but is reviewed periodically. 4.9 Infection Control To minimise risk of infection whilst administering first aid (for example, from hepatitis B and HIV), first-aid personnel must cover all exposed cuts/abrasions on their own bodies with a waterproof dressing before administering treatment. They must also wash their hands before and after applying dressings. If the casualty is bleeding from the mouth the blood must be wiped away using a clean cloth or handkerchief. Although mouthpieces are available for administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, they should only be used by trained personnel as incorrect use may cause bleeding. Disposable nitrile/vinyl gloves and aprons must be worn whenever blood, or other body fluids are handled, and disposable materials, such as paper towels and sanitising powder, must be used to mop up any substances. All disposable items must be disposed of in plastic bags in line with the Infection Control Policy and placed in a sanitary disposal unit. Contaminated work areas must be suitably disinfected and soiled clothing should be washed on a hot cycle or advice given to this effect if washing sent home. If contact is made with any other person's body fluids the area should be washed immediately and medical advice sought. Further advice on infection control is available in the HR 53 Infection Control Policy and Strategic Health and Safety Service. 5 Legislative Framework a. The Health and Safety at Work Act b.
