Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Confidential interviews revealed that C1 was playing ball with another child (C3) when C2 came and took the ball from C1 and threw it. The interview revealed that C1 told S1 about the incident and S1 told C1 to go away, called C1 a tattle tale and pushed C1 away in the back, causing C1 to almost fall to the ground. Another interview revealed S1 told C1 “we do not tattle tale on our friends” and S1 placed their hand on C1’s back, without force and patted the child as to reassure C1 it was ok. The interviews revealed that other staff that may have been present or on the playground when the incident occurred were S2 and S3. Interviews with staff revealed S1 had not been seen to push C1 nor had been heard to say anything inappropriate to C1. Based on confidential interviews and conflicting statements, the allegation that S1 made an inappropriate comment to C1 and S1 pushed C1 may have occurred, however, is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A copy of this report, LIC 811 Confidential Names List and appeal rights were given and explained to Director Tara Martinez. A notice of site visit was also provided.
