Small and big children often have troubles: they fell, stumbled, slipped unsuccessfully ... And this is a nightmare for parents who begin to worry and wind themselves up with a non-existent (and in especially sad cases existing) concussion or fracture. A lot of questions arise in my head: what to do? where to run? call an ambulance or rush to the clinic? The NNmama.ru portal found out what moms and dads should do in case of injuries in a child.
The Ministry of Health of the Nizhny Novgorod Region reported that primary trauma care for children in Nizhny Novgorod is provided in an emergency form
- during the working hours of specialists,
- in children's hospitals, which include surgical or trauma departments.
Where is inpatient care provided?
In the Children's City Clinical Hospital No. 1 of the Prioksky District, inpatient medical care is provided to children under 15 years of age:
- in the direction of specialist doctors of polyclinics, trauma centers;
- in self-treatment.
- outpatient assistance to children in a planned form on the basis of the children's hospital No. 1 is provided at the consultative and diagnostic center (Tereshkova St., 5) by appointment,
- emergency- for medical reasons in the direction of an ambulance or with self-treatment.
If your child is under 15:
1. In case of an injury that does not require emergency medical care, contact the nearest emergency room or children's clinic at the place of residence during the operating hours of a surgeon.
2. The doctor of the emergency room or the surgeon from the polyclinic, if indicated, will refer the child for inpatient treatment to one of the institutions that have surgical or trauma departments.
1. In emergency cases, if there are signs that threaten the life of the child, it is necessary to call an ambulance, or go to the nearest hospital, which has surgical or trauma beds.
Every parent is painfully familiar with the situation when, having come for a child to a kindergarten, you find a bloody mark from other people's teeth on the cheek or on the arm of your child. And in a hundred cases out of a hundred, when asked what is the matter, the educators indifferently answer that a certain child bites everyone and nothing can be done about it: they say, if it grows up, it will stop biting. just as often d children are injured in games with peers or on walks, and just as often parents receive calm answers like “it’s okay, it’s normal: bruises and bruises in childhood are inevitable.” And parents take their crying baby home, not even realizing that the educational rights of their child are shamelessly violated.
It is educational, since a kindergarten is an educational organization. The Law on Education in Art. 34 guarantees students the protection of life and health, and pp2) p 6 Art. 28 of the Law obliges an educational organization
The fact is that this ordinary, from the point of view of the kindergarten staff, phenomenon is nothing more than an accident with a child, which is supposed to be investigated according to all the rules set forth in Regulations on the procedure for investigating and recording accidents with young students and pupils in the education system of the USSR State Education(Order of the USSR State Committee for Public Education of October 01, 1990 No. 639). Don't let the date fool you: the document is valid. According to this Regulation, an accident is
What to do in such cases? Of course, in no case can not go home. You should find out from the teacher what medical care was provided and what measures were taken to investigate the accident. Most likely, your words will cause her immense surprise. In this case, contact the manager directly with a written one - this is very important! - a statement in which you ask to explain why such an investigation did not take place, and demand that it be carried out. Do not give in to promises to talk to the parents of the child who bit yours, and to persuasion to enter the position of a teacher who finds it difficult to cope with so many nimble children and so on. In legal language, this is called an attempt to hide an accident, and in everyday language it means that they want to cheat you.
What can we say about more serious injuries that led to loss of health and required a visit to the doctor for at least one day and about which the kindergarten is obliged to notify the education authority! Unfortunately, very often there are stories on the forums that kind parents feel sorry for the teacher and forgive him for what is actually negligence. In these cases, the kindergarten staff is obliged to immediately notify the parents, provide first aid and, if the child requires hospitalization - attention! - Escort him to the emergency room or hospital. Even if you arrived at the kindergarten earlier, in no case agree to take the child home and call a doctor there already: in this case, it will be very difficult to prove that the harm to the child’s health was caused in kindergarten, which means that all the costs of treatment parents have to carry. Categorically refuse such proposals if there are painful conditions accompanied by vomiting: this may be the result of food poisoning, which is fraught with a number of checks for the administration of the kindergarten.
Pay special attention to the fact that any injury received by the child not only during classes and rest, but in general before he leaves the territory of the kindergarten, including in front of you, is subject to investigation. Parents must be notified in writing of the results of an accident investigation immediately after the investigation is completed, for which there is only three days, regardless of severity. Please read this notice very carefully: the cause of the injury must in no way be cited as the child's fault. For example, there can be no wording that did not obey the teacher, ran away from the garden, did not go for a walk with other children, climbed a fence, ate something unknown, and so on: an accident is subject to investigation even if the victim violates discipline. It is also unacceptable to indicate the guilt of another pupil and the extreme employment of the educator, her poor health, the excess of the number of children in the group and other factors that allegedly mitigate the degree of guilt of the staff. While the child is in kindergarten, the administration is responsible for the harm caused to his health.
Returning to the bites and, in general, to the injuries received as a result of the actions of other children: it is strongly not recommended to conduct conversations with the latter, especially to threaten them even in the most innocent form. You should wait for your parents and calmly report that the next time you go to the emergency room to fix bodily injuries, and through the court you will be forced to pay for treatment. I advise you to do this in the presence of teachers: most often, after such warnings, a biting or fighting child magically transforms and forgets about his bad habit. It is likely that this is facilitated by increased attention to him from educators.
All children love to frolic, and if they are in the company, then injuries are guaranteed. If the student is active, then he will definitely not sit still and lure others into his game. Injuries in an educational institution are not uncommon, but an abrasion on the knee is one thing, and a concussion is another. It is sometimes very difficult to determine who is to blame for a fight, and the legislation does not clearly spell out punishment.
If a student is injured in an educational institution, then the representatives of the school are responsible for this, but only if it is easier for parents. Situations are different, as are bodily injuries.
If a student has a bruise on his arm, you should not call an ambulance and make a scandal. Your child will reconcile tomorrow with the offender, but your relationship will already be ruined both with the administration and with the parents of the naughty. You need to insist on an ambulance if the injuries are really serious, the teeth are knocked out, the student is bleeding, or you see that he is behaving sluggishly.
In accordance with the Federal Law "On Education", school employees are responsible for the life and health of a minor during his stay in an educational organization (at the lesson - a teacher, at a break - a duty teacher or administrator). The Principal is responsible for all students in the school.
In the event of a child being injured on the school grounds or during the educational process, the share of the blame lies not only with the school staff, but also with the child himself.
Parents have the right to sue the school administration, but in this case they will need to prove that there was no direct fault in the actions of their child.
What should be the actions of the teacher if the student was injured in an educational institution?
The first thing to do is to report the incident and the nature of the injury to the school medical officer, school administration, and parents. As soon as everyone is notified, you need to send the child to the hospital if the injury is serious.
The medical institution must issue certificates of the nature of the injuries, but this is not always the case, sometimes at the request of the police. In turn, the school administration must draw up an incident report and send it to the education department.
It is worth noting that the medical staff of the educational institution should take care of the victim. First aid should be provided, the fact of mutilation should be recorded and a preliminary diagnosis should be made if the injury is serious, the doctor calls an ambulance. Also, the physician must report the incident to the internal affairs department.
As soon as information about the incident was received by the department of internal affairs, the information is recorded in a special journal.
Parents should check this moment, if the school staff did not report the injury, then this must be done by the parents. The police officer then interviews the victim. It is established who caused the injury, after that, the employee clarifies whether the parents of the victim want to bring the fighter to justice. After the interviews, the police officer sends a notice to the education department. The notice asks to take measures that will prevent child injuries and eliminate shortcomings in the work of the staff of the educational institution.
In conclusion, I would like to add that parents have every right to write a statement to the director in which they ask for an internal investigation. While your child is at school, teachers and the school administration are responsible for his health in the educational institution, parents can safely demand financial compensation and punishment for guilty teachers.
“My child (10 years old) in a Greco-Roman wrestling training in a fight with an opponent under the supervision of a coach received a serious injury to the elbow joint with displacement. An operation was performed, three wires were inserted, and a plaster cast was applied. It's all very serious."
“Yesterday, the youngest broke his arm in training. And this is not just a typical fracture of the lower third of the radius - it is a fracture of the elbow joint with displacement. It so happened that the coach was distracted by accident insurance for children, poking around in papers, and for some reason mine was fighting with a big boy.
You can find hundreds of descriptions of such cases on parent forums in thematic communities in social networks. Children, especially younger students, often get seriously injured. And it's not just about boxing or wrestling. Little athletes go to the hospital from hockey, football, equestrianism, rhythmic gymnastics and even dancing. Parents experience such incidents always quite hard. But the leaders of sections and sports schools react differently: someone does not leave a recovering child, and someone brushes it off, saying that it is none of his business, and simply does not make contact. Some teachers even deliberately disseminate in social networks the assertion that coaches, instructors and employees of the Youth Sports School allegedly do not bear any responsibility for the health of their pupils. Is it so? What is included in the trainer's zone, and what else is useful for parents to know about the sports section before enrolling a child in it?
Parental Responsibility
It is worth emphasizing that almost any sport, except, perhaps, chess, is more or less traumatic, since by definition it is associated with great physical exertion.
There are several injury risk ratings compiled by physicians and physiologists. These lists differ in details, but almost all of them have: hockey, football, boxing, skiing, motorcycling, rock climbing. In some of these sports, a child under 10-12 years old, in principle, will not be allowed to play. For others, you must make the responsible decision yourself. When giving your heir to the football or hockey section, you must be aware that certain injuries will be almost inevitable, and this will be your personal responsibility.
What the law says
There are a number of legal points that are important for both parents and coaches to understand: this will minimize the risk of injury and prevent unpleasant consequences if injury still cannot be avoided.
Not all aspects of children's sports activities are covered by relevant regulatory legal acts, however, rich legal practice allows you to find answers to any questions that you may have on the topic of sports sections for children, if not in the law "On Physical Culture and Sports", then in the law "On Education" and the codes of the Russian Federation.
First you need to clearly understand who you trust your child. On the Internet, even on legal forms, you can sometimes find the opinion that you do not need to obtain a license to organize sports clubs. However, the Federal Law "On Education" says in black and white that a license is not needed only for a trainer - an individual entrepreneur working independently (Article 91). If an individual entrepreneur has employees or a section is created by a legal entity, a license must be obtained from the educational authorities.
According to article 46 of the same law, any teacher (including a sports teacher) must have a specialized higher or secondary vocational education.
Persons deprived of the right to engage in pedagogical activities (due to health status or a criminal record) cannot be trainers or instructors.
Recruiting children for classes in the sports section, its organizer is obliged to notify the parents of future pupils about their qualifications and legal status.
The training venue must comply with fire safety, sanitary and epidemiological, technogenic safety standards, and labor protection requirements. We are talking about the condition of the floor, ceiling, walls and communications, the quality of finishing materials, the presence of foreign objects, the health of employees, the health of sports equipment, etc.
Responsibility of the coach
There are a lot of myths on the Internet about the fact that a coach or instructor, unlike a school teacher, allegedly does not bear any responsibility for the life and health of children. This, of course, is not so.
In the event of an emergency that resulted in an injury to a child, law enforcement and regulatory authorities must investigate the circumstances under which this happened.
Practice shows that if the coach or the head of the section carefully observed all the safety requirements and the accident occurred due to force majeure (on the part of the coach), law enforcement agencies, as a rule, do not initiate a criminal case and recognize the incident as an accident.
However, if the coach, instructor or organizer of classes violated the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation or safety regulations, then a criminal case can be brought against them under article 239 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Production, storage, transportation or sale of goods and products, performance of work or provision of services that do not meet safety requirements.
In addition, parents after a child has received an injury have the opportunity to apply to the court in a civil procedure. If the very fact of harm to health is documented (for example, a certificate from the emergency room), then the court, as a rule, takes the side of the child and his parents.
Insurance or receipt?
To avoid controversial situations, sports federations, associations and sections today resort to the practice of compulsory insurance of small athletes. This measure usually works, and the costs associated with the treatment of a child injured in training are usually repaid in full.
But the receipts of the parents that they were warned about the possible harm to the health of the child during the training have no special legal force. They do not relieve the coach of the responsibility of supervising the well-being of the children in the class, ensuring that the ceiling and floor of the gym are repaired, and taking other appropriate steps to minimize potential injuries.
Sometimes parents, out of respect for the coach, refuse to comment at the medical institution on the circumstances in which the child was injured. This is mistake! The fact is that the legislation obliges doctors to report all such incidents to the police. If the parent does not clearly explain to the doctor where the child has a dislocation or sprain, then the next day the questions will be asked not by doctors, but by police officers and juvenile services. Is it worth bringing this up?
Word of mouth and common sense
When the child is already engaged, reverse the filming, how the trainer builds the lessons, what behavior of the students is encouraged, what is allowed and what is not. A very dangerous trend is when the coach simply "works out" his program, not paying attention to the educational component of the pedagogical process. Or when he throws the questions of interpersonal relations of children to chance, eliminating himself in case of conflicts and leaving the children the right to figure it out for themselves. Pampering and brawls in a place where sports equipment is stored and sports equipment is stored can lead not only to ordinary injury, but also to more serious consequences. With coaches and instructors who allow this, it is better to part without regret.
By following these simple precautions, you can prevent up to 90% of the troubles that could potentially threaten your child.
Oleg Polevoy
Responsibility for the life and health of students during their stay at the school, regardless of whether it is a lesson or a break, is borne by the educational institution represented by the school principal. According to the law "On Education" (Article 32), all claims of parents regarding a child's injury received during a break must be sent to the leader.
Organization of student safety at school
The school administration is obliged to create such conditions for learning that will ensure the safety of the stay of schoolchildren in an educational institution. Although physical education and technology classes are considered the most traumatic, most troubles happen between classes, when students are left to their own devices.
Primary school teachers are more vigilant during recess and try not to leave their wards unnecessarily. In exemplary schools, the participation of counselors in providing organized recreation for kids is welcome. However, a minor leader does not bear any responsibility if an injury occurs during the games, so the presence of a teacher is also required in this case.
In middle and high school in a classroom system, students should move from classroom to classroom during recess. Each subject teacher remains in this case in his class and prepares the classroom for the next lesson. Naturally, he is not able to keep order in the corridor, unless his attention is attracted by a loud noise outside the door. At this time, the duty teacher is responsible for the order. As a rule, in large multi-storey schools, there are teachers on duty on each floor. After all, one accompanying the duty officer will not be able to keep track of everything that happens at the school.
Who is guilty?
In the event of a child's injury at recess, parents can apply to the principal of the school with a statement. True, before that, you need to record the fact of an accident in a medical institution. This is especially important if the injury is serious and will require the recovery of funds from the perpetrator for treatment. Sometimes parents do not even think about going to court to receive financial compensation. They are more concerned about the very circumstances of what happened, understanding which it will be possible to avoid re-traumatizing other children.
If the injury was received during a fight between students, then the instigator will still not incur any serious punishment other than educational influence from adults. The teacher on duty will be to blame, who did not stop the fight in a timely manner. For each individual accident, in response to the statement of the parents, the school administration is obliged to conduct an investigation. If, as a result, the fault of the teacher on duty, who was simply absent from or did not respond properly to the behavior of the students, is revealed, then a disciplinary sanction will be imposed on him. However, the head of the school is still responsible for everything that happened to the parents.
For adolescents, verbal showdown and winning leadership is not always possible. That is why school fights are most often inevitable. However, most boys need to go through this stage. The main thing is to behave correctly in a fight in order to prevent serious injuries.
You will need
- - knowledge of pain techniques.
Instruction
Try to prevent a fight if possible. Do not start it yourself and over nothing, otherwise your opponents will realize that you are easy to provoke. Hold on with dignity, distinguish humiliation from stupid jokes. If we are talking about a real serious conflict, understand the words to the limit, trying to be higher and smarter than your rivals.
In a school fight, do not count on the force of impact, but on the technique. To do this, in your free time, master a few painful techniques, or visit the section of martial arts. First of all, try to parry the blow. Give a tough rebuff to offenders, demonstrating your strength. If there is an opportunity to end the fight on this, do it and leave. Keep yourself in control and do not give vent to rage.
