Counselor observed several Accident/Incident reports that were given to the child's parent or guardian and signed a day or days after the incident occurred. Some of the reports were also missing dates, times and signatures. Counselor gave the provider pointers on how to ensure they can stay in compliance with standards. We discussed different scenarios and was to cover themselves from being non- compliant. This was resolved at the time of inspection.
