Case Study
A child has had an accident that you have dealt with. Your line manager asks you to report on the accident.
- What does ‘reporting on the accident’ involve?
- What documentation might you need to complete?
- What would you include in the report?
- Who needs to know about the accident?
- When would you tell them?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
