*********************************************************************************
Call Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and arrange for transportation of the ill or injured
child, if necessary. A responsible team member should stay at the scene and give basic
support until the person designated to handle emergencies arrives (medical or EMS
personnel).

DO NOT give medications unless there has been prior approval by the parent/guardian, the
child’s health care provider and/or according to an individualized emergency action or
health care plan. DO NOT move a severely injured or ill child unless absolutely necessary
for immediate safety.

A designated team member should notify the parent/guardian of the emergency as soon as
possible to determine the appropriate course of actions. If the parent/guardian cannot be
reached, notify an authorized emergency contact. If parent/guardian is not at the location at
the time of medical transport a designated team member will stay with the injured/seriously
ill child. An incident report should be completed on all serious injuries.
