During the complaint assessment it was determined, that more likely than not, there was a failure on the part of staff to provide active supervision on the outdoor program space. A child left the outdoor space through a gate that was not the emergency exit and the gate that the child left the space from was not locked. It is reported that neither staff that were outside at the time were aware of what the child was doing prior to leaving the space and were not aware until another member of staff reported that they saw the child running out of the gate on outdoor program space and the child was running towards the street.
