63.2 Child Abuse & Neglect
Inspector Notes
An unannounced investigation was initiated on 05/06/2024 and concluded on 05/29/2024 in response to a self-report that was received by the Office of Child Care Health and Safety (Valley office) on 05/06/2024 regarding allegations in the areas of child abuse and neglect. Interviews and documentation were completed and collected and reviewed. One staff record and two children's records were reviewed/updated.
The preponderance of the evidence finds that the staff member failed to report the incident to local department or departments toll-free abuse and neglect hotline. See the violation notice for more details.
Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word corrected is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.
