Accident investigation for serious incidents in school
Accidents can happen, especially when children participate in exploratory and active learning. Incidents that have been highlighted as requiring further investigation for health and safety concerns should be analysed in line with HSE statutory guidance. Medical Tracker helps schools to investigate injury and accident incidents online.
Highlight injuries and incidents of concern.
Some incidents will meet the RIDDOR investigation requirements, others may be increasing in frequency and severity and require intervention. Using online forms, school staff can flag incidents as requiring investigation. Account admins and those with admin permissions and visibilities receive notifications of accident investigation requests.
Build a bigger incident picture in schools.
With the pre-build incident investigation forms, staff are required to add vital information such as contributing factors like extreme weather conditions. Other bigger picture information is required on the online accident investigation form, adding understanding of the activity undertaken during the accident.

Track the status of a school accident investigation.
Once the incident investigation is underway it is useful for leadership and your health and safety officer to stay in the loop with how the investigation is going. Utilising the notifications feature for those with account admin permissions and visibilities, staff members can monitor the status, tracking and sign-off of internal accident investigations across the school. This feature is particularly beneficial for MAT CEOs who are wanting to keep a track of several school incidents.
