The safety net should be one or more of the following:


Provide the parent or carer with verbal and/or written information on warning symptoms and how further healthcare can be accessed


 Arrange a follow-up appointment at a certain time and place


 Liaise with other healthcare professionals, including out-of-hours providers, to ensure the parent/carer has direct access to a further assessment for their child
