Continue to document drills on the drill log form found on the DCDEE website.

I also suggested you use the Health and Safety Training Record to keep track of required trainings and to ensure trainings are completed on time. The Health and Safety Training Record form and staff file checklist form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab. This was corrected during the visit by the completion of the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training being on file and available for review.

This will allow you to gather any missing information from staff to be recorded prior to filing.
