Investigating Incidents Using the Online Reporting System

Take up of the online accident reporting system has been excellent with the majority of staff using it to report accidents; however a problem has been identified where Headteachers are not completing the appropriate investigation and incidents are remaining "open" on the system.

Headteachers and/or nominated deputies are reminded that when notified of an incident by email through the OSHENS online system that they should carry out an initial review and sign off as described in the guidance sheet G601b and policy P601 on Schools PeopleNet. This is a short process that is the equivalent of completing the reverse side of the old paper form F601.
