F.I.T Report
F.I.T. REPORT
Programs are required to report minor injuries to a child
that occurs while the child is attending a program and
any other minor incident that occurs while a child is
attending a program to the parents of the child as well
as any other parties involved. This can consist of a fight
between children, extreme behaviours, scraped knees,
bumps on the head, etc. Just about anything that is not
considered one of the 12 reportable incidents.
Best practice for TOPP KIDS staff is to inform parent/guardians at time of injury when deemed necessary
(i.e: head, swelling etc). Staff will advise parent that they will communicate information with the
school when deemed necessary.
What information is required in a F.I.T. Report:
- Circle whether it is a first aid, incident, or theft
- Location where it occurred. Example: Holy Child School playground, gym, etc.
- Complete the appropriate section (either first aid, incident, or theft)
- Circle yes or no for media question
- Complete witness section: please print
- Complete name of parent informed: please print
- Time the parent was informed. Example: 5:15 pm at pick up, informed initially by phone/text at 3:30 pm
- Complete summary section providing factual, necessary information
- Describe what happened
- Where on the body the injury is located. Be specific. Example: Approximately 3 inches above right knee. Left cheek just below the eye. Etc.
- What symptoms the child displayed or complained of at the time of injury. Example: crying, vomiting, headache, nausea, etc.
- What first aid was administered. Example: Anti-Septic wipe, ice pack, compression, etc.
