Comments

The CCALA, CCLR, & DLSP set the minimum standards that must be met by all licensed CCFs to ensure the health & safety of all vulnerable individuals in care. The onus rests w/ the licensee to provide for the health & safety of all the children in their care @ all times.

Continuous, active supervision (s. 39 of the CCLR)
The LO discussed how the licensee must ensure that:
• children are actively supervised @ all times by ≥ 1 responsible adult while maintaining the minimum employee to children ratio @ all times
• employees practice active supervision via a combination of close proximity & attention, watching, & listening, while being able to move through & see the entire space that children are in

Notification of illness or injury (s. 55 of the CCLR)
The LO discussed how the licensee must notify:
• a parent or emergency contact immediately after the child becomes ill, injured, or is (possibly) involved in a reportable incident (RI) while in care
• the LO within 24 hrs after a child is (possibly) involved in an RI while in care
- this requirement can be satisfied via email, phone, or fax
- in the LO's absence, please report to the FHA Population Public Health Central Call Centre (604.587.3936)
- please deliver the yellow copy of the completed RI form to the Bby Health Protection office (#300 - 4946 Canada Way, Bby, BC V5G 4H7)

Safe drinking water (s. 48 of the CCLR)
Recent testing in many communities has shown higher concentrations in tap water than previously expected. The LO discussed the importance of flushing pipes by running the cold water tap, as per the provided BC Govt Fact Sheet (CCLR, CCALA): "Lead in Drinking Water."

The LO:
• reviewed this FIR w/ the manager prior to signing & printing
• thanks all employees for their time & assistance today
