Incidents and accidents report

The Incidents and accidents section of Summaries shows how the home is doing on incidents, accidents, physical interventions and missing episodes, and what the home did about them. It is for the home's managers and company admins only.

It is part of Summaries, not Reports. Reports can be opened by every member of staff; this section names children and carries your comments, so it stays with managers.

What you see

Choose a period at the top of the page (last month, three months, or your own dates). Each figure is set against the period of the same length just before it, with a small chart of the last six months.

• Incidents, by category and by type. Incidents of every type are counted, including allegations, as numbers only. No concern details appear here.
• Accidents: incidents of type Injury or accident, and how many hospital admissions and medical emergencies there were.
• Physical interventions: how many, how long, how many with an injury recorded, how many children, and how many debriefs were completed.
• Missing episodes: how many, by classification, hours away, and return home interviews completed.
• What the home did: incidents reviewed by a manager and how quickly, debriefs not yet completed, to-dos opened from incidents and how many are done, and the notifications made to the regulator about incidents.
• By child: how many incidents, physical interventions and missing episodes each child had.

The counts match the key figures on the Overview tab.

Comment on the trends and sign

2. Under each trend, write your comment. Say what you think is behind it, and what the home is doing.

The report

On a review, choose Accident and incident report to download the Monthly Accident and Incident Report: the section, your comments on each trend, your manager's view, the actions and the sign-off, with the company logo. The full review PDF carries the same section.

The company roll-up

Company admins and the Responsible Individual can open Company summaries in the sidebar. It shows every home's headline figures for the period side by side, which homes have a review (none, draft or signed) and their signed comments. Add the company's own commentary, comments on each trend and actions, and sign it. Once signed, the home figures are frozen. A manager of several homes who is not a company admin uses each home's review.
