Illustrated preview of the accident report form

What is it for?

Capture the facts while they are fresh. This form gives an event organiser space for the people involved, the circumstances, first aid or other immediate action, and a review by the responsible person.

Complete one form per incident after urgent needs have been addressed. Record what was observed and clearly separate a witness account from your own observations. Follow your safeguarding procedure separately if a concern arises.

How to use this template

  2. Record the date, time, location and affected person’s details privately.

  4. Ask the responsible lead to review actions, reporting requirements and secure storage.
