13 | At 2:26 p.m. on Monday, December 14th, 2020, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karyn Guerra met with Acting Director, Tara Williams, to conduct a complaint inspection regarding the above allegations. A tele-inspection was conducted due to COVID-19. Census consisted of 14 children supervised by 3 staff. It was alleged that staff did not allow child's authorized representative to view child's file and that child's authorized representative was not provided a copy of the admissions agreement. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and reviewed documents. Director stated that initial request for file documents was denied because the request was not made by child's authorized representative. After request was made by authorized representative, Director consulted with LPA regarding parental rights due to custodial arrangement. After also consulting with a legal team, documents and admissions agreement were provided to the authorized representative. The allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. This report was reviewed with the Acting Director and will be delivered electronically via e-mail along with the Notice of Site Visit and Appeal Rights. Aknowledgement of receipt of report will be documented in lieu of signature. |
