Injury and Illness at School-What should you do?
How to Handle Injury and Illnesses that Happen at School
It is unfortunate but a fact of life that children can, and do become injured and ill at school. Knowing the school’s procedures is very important, for all staff members; teachers, TAs and other support staff.
Often the injuries are not serious; scrapes, falls, bumps and bruises are fairly common. Children do come down with
colds and flu, sore throats, and other illnesses. Even though most injuries and illness are not serious, falls and head
injuries may be, as well as high fevers or earaches.
As a teacher our primary job is to make sure the children are safe at school. Knowing what to do if an injury or illness
occurs is critical for our mission to provide a safe environment.
PLEASE RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS:
- Imagine a child has fallen off a climbing structure and is laying on their back on the ground below. What should you do?
- In the middle of the school day, a child is not participating which is unusual. You ask the child how they are feeling and they start to cry. What should you do?
- You determine that an injured child needs medical care. Who should you contact and what should you do with the child while awaiting medical assistance?
- A parent of a child in the class asks you what they should do about getting a flu shot or a vaccine. What should you tell them?
- If you have experienced an injury at your school site, please describe what happened and what the staff did during and after the situation.

Example
1. I would initially be panicking inside but I will remain calm and see if they are conscious and breathing. If so see if the child is able to talk and communicate how they feel, if they are hurting anywhere or if anything feels wrong. Next I will see if they are able to move their head, arms, legs, and sit up because I do not want to move any body part that could potentially harm the child. If they are able to move and sit up I will move them over to more comfortable place and get them some water,
2. I will ask if they want to talk about how they are feeling and if yes bring them to a more secure and private area so there is not a lot of pressure on the child, Ask them what is wrong and have them explain to me what is going on in their own words about the situation. If something is very serious I will have to talk to my supervisor, but if not I will calm them down and give them the reassurance they need.
3. I will immediately contact 911 and bring the child to the nurses center to have the child wait there.
4. If a parent asks about the flu shot or a vaccine I will ask them to consult with their Childs healthcare provider for further information if it is right for the child or not.
5. I have had an injury at school before. I was playing on the monkey bars and thought I could jump onto the monkey bars from the platform. I ended up hitting my head on the bars and fell to ground, landing on my wrist. I remember crying and my teacher taking me to the nurses office where they called my mom and she took me to the doctors office.
