If you or your child suffers an injury on school premises, it’s important that it is reported to a member of staff. Schools should have a policy in place that states all accidents should be recorded. This will mean that they can properly investigate and try to avoid the same thing happening again. It will also assist with evidence you need for a school injury claim.
If you are able to do so taking photographs of defective equipment or a dangerous pathway for example can be very helpful. You should also keep receipts for any expenses incurred as a consequence of an accident.
