Appendix IV Tool Kit for EOTC Management

Purpose

The Tool Kit contains a selection of sample forms and templates that reflect current best practice procedures for EOTC safety. The Tool Kit is intended to assist schools to refine their systems for EOTC management and meet their legal and accepted best practice responsibilities

Note that NOT all forms are required for every EOTC event. Many low risk events may have few or NO forms (see Chapter 3, Table 3.1).

Using the ToolKit

When using the tool kit, please note the following:

  • Forms should be adapted to your school’s needs and requirements, including putting your school’s letterhead at the top. (Forms 25 and 30 cannot be adapted.)
  • Instructions for adapting the forms are written in green and should be deleted.
  • Schools are strongly encouraged to put this Tool Kit onto the school’s intranet, so it is available for all staff to use.
  • The forms may be freely photocopied by any organisation.
  • Each form details a procedure. Depending on the level of risk of the activity, some procedures may be carried out informally (for example verbally) rather than using a form

Remember that the risk management (and paperwork) should be in proportion to the level of risk associated with the EOTC activity.

Planning

See Chapter 3 Planning

  • Table 3.1 on pages 26 – 27 shows the suggested approval, parental consent, and risk management planning processes for various EOTC event types.
  • Figure 3.1 on page 31 shows where each form, if used, fits in the five-stage process of EOTC management.
