Rank: Super forum user		Nope. From your description, not a 'work-related' accident - regardless of whether you wish to consider him an employee or a MoP at the time of the accident. This is essentially one of the HSE's exact examples they use of a non-RIDDOR accident on their website.

I know this which is why I agreed it was not RIDDOR. I also happen to think that 7+ days is a long time for a swollen ankle - hence my comment.
