complaint·February 9, 2023

After receipt of the UIR, LPA conducted a Case Management tele-inspection visit, via Face Time, due to COVID-19 and DPH guidelines of social distancing. LPA viewed video of the incident and interviewed staff. Video shows two staff and several children on the playground. At one point, a child falls off the side of the play structure. After viewing video of the incident and interviewing staff, it was determined the incident was accidental. Upon receipt of the complaint allegation, LPA obtained enhanced video of the incident. LPA viewed the video and re-interviewed staff. The enhanced video of the incident shows a child fall. The video shows both staff members moving around the playground. LPA was unable to determine if one of the staff members was utilizing a cell phone or if the child fell, due to being pushed by another child. Although the incident may or may not have occurred, there is not enough preponderance of evidence to substantiate the complaint, therefore the above allegation, Lack of Supervision resulting in a child sustaining an injury is unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted with director, report, appeal rights and notice of site visit issued. Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
