While it’s essential to record accidental injuries and their treatments, the real question is, how many schools take the initiative to analyse their accident statistics?
Traditional accident books are fine for recording incidents, but they fall short when it comes to getting any analysis and data breakdown.
That’s where IRIS Adapt comes in, offering a comprehensive solution to streamline your accident management. By having your accident book on IRIS Adapt, not only will you find it quicker and easier to record incidents, but you’ll also gain immediate access to valuable statistical analysis and customised notifications. While one grazed knee may not warrant a notification, a pattern of grazed knees over time may indicate a problem with the playground surface; and you certainly do want to be informed immediately about more serious injuries. IRIS Adapt can even scan accident forms upon entry to detect any features that would necessitate a RIDDOR report, automatically sending custom notifications to the relevant person.
A standout feature, particularly for primary schools, is the ability to create a custom print template, personalised with your school logo and letterhead, for sending notes home to parents.
Staff accident logs are equally important. IRIS Adapt allows you to incorporate return-to-work interviews and accident investigation sections within the accident form itself, keeping all accident-related information in one convenient location.
You can also include separate forms for near misses, dangerous occurrences, or risk assessments as part of your Adapt setup.
Case Study
Lexden Springs is a special school having both day and residential pupils. The school caters for pupils with special educational needs, specifically severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorder.
As well as providing bespoke systems for logging pupil accidents and incidents in school, we have also created custom logs for the residential staff to record pupil activities morning and evening. We have recently added a custom nighttime log for night shift staff to record their hourly checks and observations.
IRIS Adapt’s refined access control allows both teaching staff and residential staff access to all relevant information regarding only the children in their care.
Residential staff can be alerted to incidents which may happen in school and have access to all the details. Similarly, school staff can review the AM and PM logs for their pupil before the school day begins. The result is seamless and effective communication between all staff, school and residential.
With IRIS Adapt, accident reporting in schools becomes seamless.
Any relevant staff or caregiver will have access to up-to-date information, customised notifications, and clear processes to ensure no event goes unreported.
