Childcare compliance has developed a unique and copyrighted multimedia presentation honed over a decade of presentation experience.
In point of fact, Childcare Compliance delivers a jaw-dropping new awareness and near immediate observable improvements in the application of compliance best practices among providers. Our presenters give insightful real world examples that uniquely bring home the importance of constant vigilance in maintaining best compliance practices in the three areas that are inescapable in the childcare industry: law, education and business.
Childcare Compliance delivers a jaw-dropping new awareness and near immediate observable
improvements in the application of compliance best practices among providers. Our presenters give insightful real
world examples that uniquely bring home the importance of constant vigilance in maintaining best compliance
practices in the three areas that are inescapable in the childcare industry: law, education and business.
The first rule of writing an incident report is to investigate thoroughly by asking "THE RIGHT" questions of everyone involved and anyone who might have witnessed anything and then to accurately state the facts without commentary, embellishment or speculation.
An admissions agreement must be seen as much more than a basic sign-up sheet for enrolling their children in a school or childcare facility. Even the most minimal of agreements provide basics such as days and time of operation and the fees charged, but an agreement can and should be a comprehensive document that governs the relationship between the school and parents in the widest possible range of common scenarios. Without a comprehensive admission agreement that clarifies these rights, roles and responsibilities, the provider leaves herself open to legal disputes over money, child safety and the scope of agreement itself.
A preschool environment can be a playful place or it can become the subject of legal dispute. In this case, the administrator and any attending or supervising teacher will be scheduled for a deposition to provide information about the incident. Those in attendance will have to answer probing questions from an examining attorney. Unlike a trial, the questions may not be directly related to the particular case, so anyone who attends a deposition must fully understand and prepare for the procedure.
Administrators make hundreds of decisions daily. Invariably, parents, staff, and children scrutinize their decisions. What rules should guide them? The right answer should be: legal duty, ethical duty, and professional duty. Administrators struggle with how to enforce ethical and professional duties with staff. Company values and the Code of Ethics are often handled as goals, suggestions, or recommendations. In fact, administrators can indeed make company values or the Code of Ethics a binding, enforceable legal document. This article will demonstrate how ethical and professional duties become enforceable when they are properly incorporated into legal contracts. This means an employerhas an employee sign a statement agreeing to obey the policies identified in the employee handbooks — it is enforceable.
For childcare providers, the dropping off and picking up of children at a preschool is a critical exchange point of responsibility and liability. In order to limit provider liability, providers must maintain up-to-date release authorization cards indicating which individuals are permitted to pick up a child from their care. Without uptodate release authorizations, it can be unclear who is properly authorized to pick up a child, as in the case of a parent who has recently lost custody.
Insurance statistics consistently show that the risk of student injuries increases radically when the outdoor classroom is in session (whether during the school day or in after school care) and with that increase in risk comes an increase in potential liability. This chapter discusses best practices for overseeing an Outdoor Classroom.
The safety and security of the children in your charge is a paramount issue for school administrators, no matter the age of the children. Armed security guards, coils of razor wire and alligator-infested moats are probably all on the wish list of administrators somewhere, but the focus here is on reasonable measures that can be taken at minimal expense to a school’s budget.
Well intentioned leaders have fallen prey to allegations of fraud, because of their ignorance about the law, blindly trusting others, an aversion to managing finances, the absence of safeguards, checks and balances, policy and protocol. In law, those who fail to act reasonably or those who aid or abet others in a commission of a crime can be held equally culpable for the crimes committed by others. Ruby, although unwittingly, is entangled in a web of crime and deceit.
In thinking about operating a child care program, the first legal matter which must be decided is the questions of what type of organization should be used for the program. The business structure must match the legal needs and plans of the program, operators and clients. The decision about type of organization is the initial decision around which all other legal-related decisions will focus.
