Emergency and Accidents

 

Emergency

Parents are responsible for ensuring that the Kids’ Club has up to date names and telephone numbers of people who will be available should an emergency arise and parents cannot be reached .

 

Accidents

Parents will be notified at once. If we cannot get in touch with a parent, the emergency number will be called.

If an accident is severe and the Kids’ Club feels that the child should receive immediate medical attention, one of the staff will take the child to the local Medical clinic or hospital and inform the parent or emergency contact to meet the staff member there. Should an ambulance be required, it will be the parents responsibility to defray the cost.

 

Parents should note that the only health and accident insurance which applies to students is the normal coverage under the Québec Health Insurance plan.

 

The School Board does not carry additional coverage for injuries or illness which occur in Kids’ Club, and which could lead to ambulance transportation, dental care or any other expenses not covered by Québec Medicare. Parents should ensure that they carry coverage against these eventualities.
