Incident Reporting
For the protection of those we serve, our volunteers and our church, it is important that all incidents are correctly recorded and reported via the Incident Report Form. The form should be used any time first aid is rendered.  
 If you are unsure if an Incident Report is required, it is best to fill one out anyway.
