Dealing with serious incidents

Step One

Instructor/school/other informs training provider of the incident 

Step Two

Instructor completes training providers Serious Incident (SI) report form and training provider follows due process, including gaining report forms from other involved parties if deemed necessary 

Step Three

Training provider conducts own investigation as needed and also informs grant recipient and Bikeability Trust within 72 hours of incident (sending through SI report form and any other relevant related documents) 

Step Four

Grant recipient follows internal processes for serious incident reporting and ensures training provider has done the same
