I injured a student at elementary school
Did the child have any serious injuries?
The child has a large hematoma on the back of the head. I don't know how this happened. I watched the children in the playground and did not see how the child fell.
Were other people involved in the incident?
No
Do you have witnesses?
Yes, the other children who were playing in the playground
Do you have any physical evidence?
No
Do you have any prior knowledge of this type of incident happening before?
No
Do you have any reason to believe that this incident will happen again?
No
Do you have any recommendations on how to prevent this type of incident from happening again?
Yes, I think we need to have more supervisors in the playground and we may need to have a separate play area for the older children because they tend to be more boisterous than the younger children.
Were you aware that this was against the policy of the school?
Yes
Do you know what the policy is regarding this?
Yes, we are not supposed to leave the children unsupervised
Do you have any reason why you did not follow the policy?
I got distracted because I had to talk to the other teacher about the upcoming school play
Do you have any reason to believe that you will not follow the policy again?
No
Do you have any recommendations on how to improve the policy?
I think the policy is fine but we can improve the supervision of the children
