First Aid Procedure

All Beaulieu College employees are advised to follow the following first aid protocol when dealing with an injured pupil.


 * 1) Ensure you have all learners’ parents contact details on hand.
 * 2) Ensure that there is a member of the Beaulieu College First Aid team present at your event, or that there is a medical bag with equipment present at the function.
 * 3) Let the first aid personnel on duty deal with the injury if you are not qualified to do so.
 * 4) If there is no first aid available, phone for assistance using the following emergency number: 082911 – Netcare or 084124 – ER 24
 * 5) If the learner does not need to be evacuated from the scene, please make sure you follow up on the learner before they go home to ensure that there is no secondary or delayed side affects. Clarify how the learner is getting home and into the custody of their parents by contacting the parents or a sibling.
 * 6) If the injury is serious enough to render the learner immobile and does not require the learner to be evacuated e.g. a sprained ankle, inform the parents and clarify how they are getting home.
 * 7) If the learner is evacuated, a staff member must accompany the learner to the destination and contact the parents to meet you there. If the parents are on hand, it becomes their responsibility to travel with their child.
 * 8) In the case of an injury that requires evacuation, the teacher or coach at hand must inform the TIC who in turn must inform the headmaster immediately.
 * 9) The relevant TIC must follow up with parents on the day of the injury to enquire about the extent of the injury.
 * 10) If the pupil will not be able to return to school on the following day of the injury, the relevant TIC should contact the parents to enquire about the recovery of the pupil as well as making arrangements for work to be sent home for the pupil.
