Hi glad you made it in okay xx
You need to show that you know what type of records are present in your setting, what the fields are on those forms, how you fill them i- pen or digital? and why you need to do that - compliance with mandatory standards.
This may all be something you'll discuss with your assessor when they next visit for a workplace observation? or write it down if that's what you're expected to do.

Quote from page 11:
Completing records
All accidents, incidents and emergencies have to be record accurately. This is important because serious accidents and incidents also have to be reported to inspectorates and agencies, such as Ofsted or the Health and Safety Executive, who will investigate further. In the case of accidents, parents also need to know what happened and so many early years settings will report any injury, however minor, to parents.
Most forms require the following information:
- time and date of accident/incident/emergency
- details of accident/incident/emergency including the names of those injured
- how the accident/incident/emergency was responded to and by whom
- name and signature of the person reporting the accident/incident/ emergency
Can you ask your setting for blank copies of their forms as evidence?
The feeling that you're repeating yourself means you might be writing too much detail in other criteria xx
Hope this helps
Best wishes
