Just wondering if anyone request parents to sign a form to say that the injuries, markings, bruising on their child were from non-daycare hours? I suppose to cover ourselves.

I'm thinking of putting this in my policy handbook...

Injuries from non-daycare hours
If your child comes to daycare and we notice any markings or bruising due to injury sustained outside of daycare hours we may request you, the parent to sign a form stating that your child's injuries/markings/bruising were sustained during non-daycare hours.

I know its a bit wordy, but it is now nearly 2am! But what do you think? Is it necessary? Does anyone request this or am I being too paranoid?

Thanks.
