Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

S1 was briefly distracted by conversation with C3 when S1 noticed C1, and C2 engaged in an active physical altercation. S1 immediately broke from conversation and was later able to dissolve the altercation between C1 and C2 after C3 had briefly joined the altercation. Interview with S1 revealed they had to utilize their hand-held radio to reach Teacher (S2) who was supervising another group of children a great distance away to notify them of the situation. Interview with S2 revealed they were at a distance that prevented them from being able to see or hear what had transpired between C1 and C2. Based on interviews conducted, the requirement to ensure that care and supervision of children’s needs was not met; thus, the allegation was found to be Substantiated. A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. An exit interview was conducted with Program Lead Monica where a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided along with copies of the LIC9099-D, LIC811, and Appeal Rights.
