This guide provides an overview of the system’s Accidents & Incidents Tracking and Medication Exports features for educational settings, supporting student safety and regulatory compliance. It explains how to manage and securely report:

  • Accidents in the Setting: Recording accidents that occur on school/setting premises.
  • Accidents in the Home: Logging accidents reported by parents or guardians to maintain complete safeguarding and care records.
  • Incidents: Tracking behavioural events, near misses, or safeguarding concerns requiring administrative review.
  • Medication Administered: Recording the time, dose, and signatures for each medication given to maintain a clear audit trail.
  • Planned Medications: Managing medication schedules, dosages, and parental consent for ongoing or short-term needs.
