This data is based on notifiable Incidents that have been reported to CYPES via the online tool. The definition of notifiable in the CYPES Accident Reporting Policy is: 

A notifiable accident is an incident which results in: 

• death or major injury 
• 24 hrs hospitalisation or 
• more than three (3) days absence from school or work 
• accidents / incidents involving a student / pupil / resident / contractor or a visitor (member of the public) (Lawful or unlawful) on any CYPES controlled premises requiring an ambulance call out or treatment at the Accident and Emergency section of the hospital. A notifiable accident does not have to result in an injury to be notifiable and it may include an episode of an existing medical condition. It should still be reported if it meets the criteria above.
