Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance/transport and any other transport costs. Please note that if First Aid trained staff believe an ambulance to be necessary they will ring for one immediately. Parents and Guardians are not consulted before this decision is made.

Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers.
