2019-01-18 Non Compliance 61N - Child accident and injury Corrected
Corrective Action: Based on additional child accident reports submitted, center staff failed to notify parent’s immediately after an impact to their head. The administrator provided a specific accident/injury report to show that a child’s parent was contacted. However that child’s parent provided the same report that did not included this notification. Ensure parents/guardians are notified immediately when a child receives any impact to the head and ensure reports are not altered once a parent signs it. Review proper documentation of head injuries. Submit a summary of procedures reviewed with staff signatures.
