Dear colleagues,

Please ensure all incidents are now being submitted to the GLT incident form link below:

Guidance:

The GLT Incident Form is to enable consistent reporting of incidents across the Trust, ensuring that any adverse incidents are investigated as appropriate, and to give Head Teachers data to review incidents at a school level.

Types of incident to report include, accidents (slips, trips etc. involving students, staff, visitors, contractors etc.), near misses, injuries /work related illness, dangerous occurrences, fire alarm activations, attendance of emergency services (example: Fire Brigade, ambulance etc.), incidents involving violence or aggression, fire, flood, Environmental Health Officer visits, HSE enforcement visits or any other incident that needs investigation or recording.

If people are unsure whether to report online or not, I would recommend reporting – inappropriate reports can be removed, but you can't do anything if you don't get a report at all.

The form is self-explanatory, and just requires users to answer questions – the form will then lead them to different questions depending on their answers.

Any incidents reported will be sent to nominated staff members, and also to the Shared Services team to review.
