(1) Any injury suffered by a child in care shall be reported to that child's parent or authorized representative regardless of treatment by a medical professional.

  Licensee shall submit a written plan describing how all incidents will be reported to authorized representatives immediately, and how all incidents will be documented according to regulation. Licensee shall complete the training videos (Child Care Reporting Requirements) at ccld.childcarevideos.org. The written plan shall be submitted to the Department by the POC due date. Based on interviews and information obtained during the investigation, the licensee did not report multiple incidents in which children sustained bites while in care. Several bites were discovered by authorized representatives after the children returned home, and photographic evidence showed bite marks occurring on multiple dates. Information gathered indicated that biting incidents occurred frequently and that Licensee did not consistently notify authorized representatives or complete required incident reports. Failure to report incidents as required poses a potential risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.
