It's the same with say for instance at my work place any guests or staff have an accident it has to be logged for insurance purposes. The fact that nothing was logged or reported & she was not taken to hospital is disgusting

It's always so damn hard. You want peace and a quick recovery of your daughter, at the same time you'll need to fight the school. Let them take it to the bottom while you take it to the top. And make sure everything appears in the books, check it.
And again, all the best for your family.

Really sorry to hear about your daughter, I know how you feel. My son Ben (mini luchador) was tripped up by another boy in the playground at school when he was 9 and suffered a fractured skull and was told by the staff in the playground to get up and stop messing around, he tried and collapsed straight away. Then with an obvious head/neck trauma, the caretaker lifted him and ran into the school to find the first aider! Surely anyone supervising children should be at least trained in an element of first aid (such as don't move someone with head injury).
Turned out the school use ancillary staff (cleaners and caretakers) to supervise kids. Ben's fracture resulted in nerve damage and he lost his right hand side hearing completely and had to learn to walk again but the headmaster said "boys will be boys." - hardly a responsible attitude, and didn't change any supervision policies.
I wish you and your daughter all the best, and hope she feels better soon.

Thanks for all the responses, Jen has now been back to hospital to get her wrist manipulated in to the correct position position twice, and they are still not happy with it, got to go back on the 7th to see if it needs wiring or pinning. The school governors have been advised of our complaint, and we have gotten in touch with the council's heath and safety department as they had not been informed of the incident, both of these are now being investigated.
One bit of good news, the head had banned Jen from any extra curricular activities including the play they had been working on when she fell, the day after the letter to the governors I got pulled in to the heads office and told that she could take part in these.
The head has also admitted that she sees no reason for Jen to say that there was swelling and a misshapen lump on her arm, or that she was visibly upset and in pain when the fall happened when her staff say there was none of these.

So basically the head of the school is calling your daughter a liar and is taking the side of the teacher.
The very fact that the teacher didn't log the incident in the schools accident book is against Health and Safety regs no matter how severe your daughters injuries were. If she so much as fell over and the teacher looked over the injury and found nothing wrong. It should have been logged incase there was any underlying problem later on.
