OSHENS - Incident reporting and investigation guidance for LA Headteachers and Managers

Recording and investigating incidents is an important process that helps to ensure the control measures in place are effective and to understand where improvements are needed.

If you are a LA Headteacher/Manager who is responsible for carrying out incident reporting and investigations on OSHENS, the guidance Online Incident Report and Investigation for Managers G601e on HR InfoSpace provides you with key information to support with both reporting and investigation. It includes how to:

  • Access your incidents
  • Carry out an initial assessment and sign off
  • Carry out a local investigation and sign off
  • Provide information about absence recording

All LA Headteachers and Managers should ensure that they are familiar with this document. If you need support with online reporting and investigation after referring to this guidance, please contact the Health, Safety and Well-Being Team by emailing healthandsafety@norfolk.gov.uk
