Personal Injury and Schools
Posted on 30. May, 2010 by Admin in Uncategorized
You send your child off to school every day and assume that they will be safe there. More often than not this is the case, but accidents can and do occur in schools. Most of them are every day occurrences that kids will encounter whether they were in school or not. Occasionally they can be more unusual.
In most developed countries in the world, schools are under strict codes to provide a safe environment for children and staff. Personal injury rules will vary from state to state and country to country, but the basics tend to be the same. For your own area you would need to research the finer details if you ever needed to make a personal injury claim.
There has been rising concern about the costs some schools have had to pay out in personal injury claims in the UK over recent years. Many of these have been by staff claiming compensation for tripping on food, wet floors and injury caused by furniture. Funding for schools is often difficult and much of the concern is that money being paid out in court costs should or could be being used to improve the school in other ways.
For the majority of people though, school safety is about kids. Schools are required to provide adequate protection in terms of:
- Safety approved playground equipment. Accidents will still occur on even the safest of playgrounds but good ground and well designed equipment has meant a decrease in many major injuries occurring.
- Adequate fencing needs to be provided around any maintenance or construction work within the school area.
- Any playground hazards are expected to be noted and dealt with. Things like broken glass need to be cleared away immediately and fencing put around any potential hazards that cannot be dealt with straight away.
- Strict rules to abide by concerning trips away from school, including identifying potential hazards. If a parent is at all concerned with these guidelines they can contact the school or refuse permission.
In some areas there is sometimes a fine line between where the school’s responsibility for students ends and where parent responsibility takes over. School crossings and children’s safety before and after school can become personal injury issues.
Many personal injuries can occur to children through things like doors slamming or being shut on fingers, slipping on wet floors or equipment left out such as guillotines for paper cutting. Some of these are obviously the schools responsibility and some are beyond their control.
If your child is injured at school, or coming to or from school you should seek legal advice. It is a good idea to always read the schools policies too and be aware of what the requirements are in your local area. In most states and countries schools are obliged to have written statements regarding all areas of safety and have personal injury reduction guidelines in place.
Schools are there to provide the best education they possibly can and to ensure that the children in their care are as safe from personal injury as possible. Ideally parents and schools will be working together for the children.
