If your child has an accident or becomes ill whilst at school and we think your child should go home the following steps will be taken:

• We will get in touch with you or your immediate response contact as soon as possible.
• In the unlikely event that we cannot contact anyone and your child is in need of medical attention then a member of staff will take your child to Forres Health Centre or Dr Gray’s Emergency unit. Ideally it should be two members of staff, one to drive and the other in case your child is unwell on the way, but being a small school we may not have two members of staff available to do this.
• In an emergency, an ambulance will be called and in most cases the child will be taken to Dr Gray’s.  Again you will be contacted as quickly as possible.
• It is most important that we can contact parents at home or at work and, where this is not possible, someone who is known to the child.

NOTE:  IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACT AND IMMEDIATE RESPONSE NUMBERS UP TO DATE (a copy will be kept at the back of your child’s homelink folder but please let the school know in the first instance).

The link below will take you to the NHS page”Is my child too ill for school?”.  There you will find details of most childhood illnesses and guidelines on whether ot not they should be kept off school.
