Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before 8/9/23, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Brittany Jones, Child Care Consultant PO Box 3272 New Bern, NC 28564 Brittany.j.jones@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE DOCUMENTED VIOLATION (S): Health & Safety Training: Health & Safety (H&S) Training includes training in 9 topic areas plus Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment and CPR/First Aid. New staff are required to complete H&S Training within one year of hire (CPR/First Aid and Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment within 3 months of hire) and then complete training in all topic areas every five years. Free H&S Training developed specifically for North Carolina is available in Moodle on the DCDEE website. Other options may be used if they are approved by DCDEE. I shared instructions on how to access the Moodle Health and Safety Trainings during the visit. These trainings can also be used to meet annual on-going training requirements. The operator did not complete health and safety trainings by 6/27/23. You stated that you were unable to log into Moodle to complete the trainings but will use the instructions that were given to her today to complete the trainings. Use the Health & Safety Training Log to document and track all H&S Training and attach certificate for each training topic area to log. Send the training log with your compliance letter to verify that all trainings were completed.
