Assembly Bill (AB) 633: Upon receipt by the licensee, licensees are to provide to parents/guardians the following: Copies of any licensing reports that document a Type A citation- this includes facility visits and substantiated complaint investigations; copy of licensing documents pertaining to a conference conducted by a local licensing agency management representative and the licensee of this family child care home in which issues of noncompliance are discussed or copies of a summary of an accusation indicating the Department's intent to revoke the facility's license. Copies of any of the above licensing documents the licensee has received in the prior 12 months shall be provided to parents/guardians of newly enrolled child at the facility. Senate Bill (SB) 792: This bill, commencing September 1, 2016, prohibits a person from being employed or volunteering at a child care facility or family day care if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis and measles.
Mandated Reporter: Beginning on January 1, 2018, AB 1207, requires all licensed providers, applicants, directors and employees to complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and to renew their training every two years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. Website: www.mandatedreporterca.com
Please Note: We have recently made changes to our website. The general training for mandated reporters is now a required prerequisite for all the profession-specific trainings. The general training is a one-time prerequisite and needs to be completed prior to completing the profession-specific training for the first time using the updated online platform, launched in December 2018. The general training does not need to be retaken when you renew your profession-specific training certificate in subsequent years. Altogether, the general training and the profession-specific trainings meet the training requirements of the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA), Education Code for school personnel, and Health and Safety Code for licensed child care providers.
