An A to Z of DUCKS
First Aid Most accidents involving children at DUCKS need minor first aid combined with TLC and reassurance. A number of staff hold Paediatric First Aid certificates. If a child has an accident of a more serious nature, a First Aider will assess the situation and ensure the injury is treated appropriately. If your child has an accident whilst at school, this will be recorded on an accident form. We will inform you about the accident verbally or by email. We have procedures for emergency first aid as well as a procedure for transporting children to the Dulwich College Medical Centre (where trained nurses and doctors are available) or, if required, to hospital. Lost Property Please label all items of clothing to help staff return any mislaid pieces of uniform, clothing and belongings to the correct child. During the school day, children have many situations when they are taking off layers of clothing, e.g. to engage in water play, clothing being washed after a very messy activity, at playtime, PE, swimming or going for a sleep. If all items of clothing are labelled it ensures that we are able to quickly and efficiently return clothes to the correct child.
