I work in an educational establishment and yesterday we had a student who slipped on some wet decking and hurt their hip. An ambulance was called and they were taken to hospital with a suspected broken hip.
The hospital will not confirm the injury, only to say they IP is comfortable.
What do I put on the F2508, this might only be bruising or could be a broken hip?
Appreciate it must be reported either way and all of the other things we need to do.
Any suggestions please

RIDDOR 95 L73 4th. Ed Page 26
Injuries to people not at work (Student)
49 Any injury to a person who is not at work (eg a hotel or care home resident, pupil or student, or a customer in a shop) must be reported if it:
results from an accident arising out of or in connection with work; and(a)
results in them being taken from the premises where the accident occurred to (b) a hospital, by whatever means (for example by taxi, private car or ambulance).
50 The phrase in regulation 3(1)(c): ‘Taken from the site of the accident to hospital for treatment’ describes a situation where someone is taken to hospital because it appears that some medical attention may be necessary. There is no requirement to check that treatment is actually administered by the hospital. The injury must still be reported in cases where the person does not receive treatment.
Hope this helps
