CCR 101226(a)(2) · Type B
Health-Related Services (a)The licensee shall immediately notify the child's authorized representative if the child becomes ill or sustains an injury more serious than a minor cut or scratch. The licensee shall obtain specific instructions from the authorized representative regarding action to be taken. (2) In the case of less serious injuries including, but not limited to, minor cuts, scratches and bites from other children requiring assessment and/or administration of first aid by staff, the licensee shall document the injury in the child's record and notify the child's authorized representative of the nature of the injury when the child is picked up from the center. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on the LPA's interviews with staff S1-S4 on 03/28/24 and 04/03/24, it was corroborated that on a specified date, the authorized representative of child C1 was not notified of an injury that occurred at the center that day.
