What is meant by the term serious injury as it is used in the following New York State Office of Children and Family Services regulation?
“The caregiver must immediately notify the Office upon learning of the death, serious injury or infectious illness of an enrolled child which occurred while the child was in care at the program or was being transported by a caregiver.” An injury is considered serious if it requires professional medical attention. This would be an injury that is beyond the routine superficial cuts, scrapes and bug bites that are so common among young children.
