Compliance checklist
- Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Medical disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Information you share here is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

Who this template is for
EEC Incident Report Form (Massachusetts) is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in daycare forms.

- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 20 questions across 2 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 16 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Was first aid given?” is Yes, “What first aid was given, and by whom?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “How would you categorise the incident?” is Serious injury or hospital treatment, “Who was notified beyond the family?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Were there witnesses?” is Yes, “Witness names and roles” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Massachusetts EEC-licensed programmes are expected to record injuries and incidents in writing, notify the parent or guardian promptly, keep the report in the child's file and — for the more serious categories — notify the department as well. This template is written around that sequence rather than around a blank text box. Page one fixes the facts: the child, their age group and room, the date, time and exact location, a factual account with no interpretation, the injury type and the part of the body affected. Page two records the response and the paper trail: first aid given and by whom, whether medical attention beyond first aid was needed, witnesses, the time and method the family was told, the educator's signature and the administrator's review and follow-up action. The severity question drives the notification note, because a bump on a knee and a head injury do not carry the same reporting expectations. It differs from the generic incident report form in section naming, in the required administrator review, and in asking for age group and body part — the fields a licensor tends to look for first. Confirm the exact wording and notification timelines with your licensor before adopting it as your standard form.

How the form changes as it's filled in
This template ships with 3 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 3 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.
Driven by “Was first aid given?”
- Makes answers required
If “Was first aid given?” is Yes, “What first aid was given, and by whom?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Driven by “How would you categorise the incident?”
- Makes answers required
If “How would you categorise the incident?” is Serious injury or hospital treatment, “Who was notified beyond the family?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Driven by “Were there witnesses?”
- Makes answers required
If “Were there witnesses?” is Yes, “Witness names and roles” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Set it up step by step
- 1
Copy it and add your programme details
Rename the form with your programme name and licence number so every export is identifiable.
- 2
Match your room and location lists
Replace the room and location choices with your own so staff pick rather than type.
- 3
Write it before the end of shift
The educator who saw the incident completes pages one and two while the detail is still accurate.
- 4
Review and file
The administrator completes the review block, the family is notified, and the PDF goes into the child's file.
Mistakes to avoid
- Writing an opinion about how the incident happened instead of what was observed, which is the first thing a licensor questions.
- Recording that the family was told without the time and the method, so there is no evidence notification was prompt.
- Leaving the administrator review blank, which turns a compliance record into an unsigned note.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Email the completed PDF to the family, file it in the child's record, and add the follow-up action to your health and safety log so the same hazard is not written up twice.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the official EEC form?
No. It is a template shaped around what EEC-licensed programmes are normally expected to record. Check it against your licensor's current requirements before you adopt it.

How is it different from the generic incident report?
