- C2.1 - Are written policies and procedures in place to guide employees in all matters regarding the care and supervision of children?
- Observation(s): The following contraventions related to policies and procedures were noted: 1) The licensee contact acknowledged that the facility lacked a supervision policy for staff. 2) Staff interviewed described different processes regarding non-reportable documentation and notifications and described inconsistent parental notification processes. A review of systems in place at the facility identified different methods of documentation which were inconsistent with the practices described by staff and the licensee contact. Some staff were unaware of the existence of a care plan for a child in care. Not having a supervision policy presents a potential risk to the health, safety and dignity of children in care. A failure to ensure that policies are implemented may present an increased risk to the health, safety and dignity of children in care. 1) The policy concerns had previously been articulated to the licensee and an approved supervision policy has been reviewed and is in place. The licensee also provided this information via email on May 22, 2025 and a copy of it has been retained on file. 2) The licensee has also provided an appropriate compliance plan addressing staff understanding of policies and procedures.
- C2.1H - Keep current written policies and procedures that guide employees in the care and supervision of children; 56 (1) (d)
- C2.1N - Ensure that the policies and procedures referred to in section 56(1) are implemented by employees; 56(2)
- C4.1 - Are facility records current and complete?
- Observation(s): A review of facility children in care care plans lacked confirmations that the plan was developed in consultation with the parent or reviewed on an annual basis as required. Required signatures and dates were missing from the documentation. Inadequate care plan documentation may present an increased risk to the health, safety and dignity of children in care. This concern had previously been articulated and the licensee contact provided an appropriate compliance plan on May 22, 2025 addressing staff understanding of care planning, as well as a revised care plan template which has been implemented.
