This is the policy our EYSO gave us ;-Sudden death of a child in our care or an adult in our setting.
Death at any time is traumatic for relatives and friends of the deceased but more so when it is an unexpected death.
At...............we take the health and safety of our children and staff very seriously, health and safety risk assessments are carried out regularly but other factors may contribute to a sudden death.
If the unfortunate incident of a sudden death of a child/adult occurs, the following steps would be taken:-
Every effort would be made to revive the casualty by a trained first aider.
Contact emergency services immediately asking for ambulance and police.
Any children in the area would be moved to minimise trauma.
Manager/owner of the setting would inform other parents/staff not on duty.
Support would be offered to all staff/parents if required.
Review the circumstances of the incident and implement any necessary changes.
hope this helps
