Address care first
Follow emergency and medical guidance and keep provider and discharge information.
Request the school record
Preserve the incident report, staff names, witness details, communications, and relevant policies supplied to you.
Identify the activity and control
Record whether the event involved transport, sport, playground equipment, a contractor, or another supervised activity.
Seek jurisdiction-specific advice
Public and private schools can raise different notice, immunity, insurance, and deadline questions.
