Note to Pupils:

Caring For Accident Victims

  1. Stay Calm: Encourage the victim to stay calm and reassure them that help is on the way.
  2. Check for Danger: Ensure that the surroundings are safe for both the victim and anyone offering assistance. Remove any immediate threats if possible.
  3. Call for Help: Instruct the pupils to seek help from a teacher, an adult, or call emergency services if available.
  4. Apply Basic First Aid: Teach simple first aid techniques such as cleaning and covering minor cuts or bruises with a bandage.
  5. Comfort and Reassure: Explain to the pupils the importance of offering emotional support by comforting the victim and reassuring them that help is coming.
  6. Keep Warm: Emphasize the need to keep the victim warm, especially if the accident involves exposure to cold or wet conditions.
  7. Do Not Move Unnecessarily: Stress the importance of not moving the victim unless absolutely necessary to prevent further injury. If there’s a risk of further harm, it’s best to wait for professional help.
