INJUIRES & FIRST AID
Injury can occur during Karate and it is a high-risk sport. Coaches use their discretion to determine the difference between a minor and major incident when administering First Aid.
In the case of a minor injury, the coach will take the appropriate First Aid response. After a short rest, the attendee will continue training or can be taken home by their parent or caregiver.
In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, First Aid will be administered, including requesting an ambulance if needed. If the parent/caregiver is not at the Centre when this injury occurs, you will be contacted using the emergency contact information we have on file for you. Your instructions will be followed from that point on.
In the event we are unable to make contact with a parent/caregiver, we will make arrangements to travel to the Accident and Emergency Centre closest to us. A staff member will remain with the attendee until the parent/caregiver have arrived and been fully briefed.
