TA: Today I provided technical assistance on the following: 10A NCAC 09 .1723 TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS To assure the safety of children whenever they are transported, the operator, or any other transportation provider, shall: 5) have written permission from a parent to transport his or her child and notify the parent when and where the child is to be transported, and the name of the transportation provider. Parents may give standing permission, valid for up to 12 months, for transport of children to and from the home (13) have identifying information in the vehicle about each child being transported, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information, and a copy of the emergency medical care information form required by Rule .1721(a)(3) of this Section; Transporting children in child care settings is a high-risk activity. There is always the potential for problems to occur whenever children are transported. Obtaining written permission from parents allows the provider to prioritize the child's safety and take necessary precautions. This written consent ensures parents are fully informed about the potential risks involved in transporting their child, as well as the planned activity and destination. Having documented parental consent also protects the child care provider from potential legal issues if an incident occurs during transportation. To further enhance safety, including a photograph of each child with their emergency information will enable easier identification in case of an emergency. Attaching these photos to the car safety seats used by each child can also help quickly identify them in the event of an accident. Thank you for your cooperation during today’s visit. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times
