Hi, I am Jeffrey. I am still a new employee with the Guardianship team. While I am somewhat familiar with understanding the levels of incident reports, I am still learning more about entering them into KYGFIS. Simon has been a great resource and is working with me to help me understand more about documenting incident reports.
This training course is designed to provide an overview of the basics of incident reporting.
| Learning Goal #1 Identify and describe the 4 types of incidents | |
| Learning Goal #2 Know how to enter an incident into KYGFIS |
This course is part of a series of trainings required for all new employees. All new hires are required to satisfactorily complete trainings before being assigned cases.
All courses must be completed in order and in a timely manner.
An incident is defined as “anything that alters the status of the individual.”

The Kentucky Strengthening Families Initiative Overview module introduced the six Guiding Premises, which provide the foundation for professionals to truly grasp the meaning behind the Initiative and embedding the Protective Factors within your work with children and families. The six Guiding Premises are best practices and can be used as a guide to help achieve positive outcomes.
The tree visual helps explain how the Guiding Premises and Protective Factors are connected and intertwined. Think of the Protective Factors as the leaves on the tree and the Guiding Premises as the roots of the tree. Grasping the concepts of the six Guiding Premises will help you understand and recognize the importance of each Protective Factor.
Families seek timely assistance from people they have learned to count on and they feel empowered to “give back” through satisfying, mutually beneficial relationships. Constructive and supportive social connections help buffer people from stressors and support nurturing parenting behaviors that promote secure attachments in young children.
Establishing positive connections with families will help them feel respected and appreciated in their role as a caregiver. Engagement and involvement improve when we focus on strengths first. This can also increase a person’s motivation to make necessary changes over time.
Know who your positive supports are and realize not all social connections are positive. For example, try not to engage with a person you know can be negative first thing in the morning because this interaction could impact your mood.
People engage in connections in different ways. Understanding that race, other identities, privilege and power shape your role as a professional and how you connect with the families you work with.
Allow time to build rapport before expecting families to feel comfortable sharing personal details about themselves or their child.
Take into account your own culture when building connections with others. Having positive relationships that provide emotional, informational and spiritual support can help you to feel secure and confident in sharing the joys, pains and uncertainties that come with being a caregiver.
Take a look at these definitions, which will be found throughout the training.

Oops! You need to be logged in to use this form.Each activity is set up in a similar way. Activities do not need to be limited to just a singular day or even week, and not all activities have to be done in one singular lesson plan.
For activities to be most beneficial for children, they should be allowed to revisit and build on their knowledge. Activities should be left for as long as children are interested and engaged.
Modification of activities is encouraged based on the program and children’s needs. The important part of the activity is the concept being introduced, not necessarily the specific materials that are used.
School agers are curious learners. They enjoy experimenting and playing with things to see how they work. The activities in this training focus on using the scientific method to support children’s learning.
Watch this short video for an overview of the scientific method. The video must be watched entirely to progress through the course, you do not need to watch any related videos that pop up at the end.
Each of these activities can be easily inserted into your lesson plans. One or all activities can be used. Activities can and should be, modified based on space, children, and materials available.

Do Not Resuscitate or DNR is a legal or medical order that states that in the event that the person’s heart stops functioning or they stop breathing, they are not to receive life-saving measures such as chest compressions, electrical shock via defibrillator, or artificial breathing tubes.
A DNR may also be called “No Code” or “Allow Natural Death”.
If someone has a DNR order, the person is to continue receiving all other care and treatment as usual and necessary.
Some facilities may also request a DNI Order, which is short for Do Not Intubate. A DNI is not necessary because a DNR already covers artificial breathing tubes. Contact the Guardianship Nurse Consultants for guidance if a facility or physician have questions concerning a DNI order.
