What are the changes to the reporting serious incident requirements?
Each chapter contains a chart which lists all reportable serious incidents and the required time frames for notifying Licensing, law enforcement, and the involved child’s parents of the incident. New reportable serious incidents include child-on-child abuse, a child’s arrest, and communicable disease (child or employee/ volunteer). Time frames and reporting requirements for children who run away are now specified in the minimum standards rather than the current requirement for the operation to have a policy about runaways.
