Confidential interviews revealed there were no witnesses to the child being involved in any injurious incidents and was first observed with the bruising by staff during nap time. Confidential interviews also disclosed that there was a health check conducted for the child upon arrival to the CCC and there were no injuries observed on the child. Due to child being limited verbally, LPA was unable to interview the child and corroborate allegation.

Based on confidential interviews and records review, the allegation that child sustained unexplained injuries while in care, may have occurred, however is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were provided to Assistan Director.The Assistant Director was reminded that the Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 consecutive days.
