Incident Notification Forms

Incident Notification Forms must be used to let us know of any accidents, incidents of bullying, when a child goes missing or where physical intervention has taken place. Separate contact, medication or notification sheets need to be used for each child in placement to maintain confidentiality and to enable information to go with the child when they move on. Recording should begin from the first day a child is placed with you.  At the end of the placement, recording should be given to the child’s social worker to add to their file.  For children in placement for longer periods the return of recording to children’s files should be reviewed annually in discussion with your Fostering Social Worker. 

There is useful information about recording in the good practice guide on Foster Carer recording included in this folder.
