We must comply with the Child Care Licensing Regulation in regard to reportable incidents:
1) A licensee must immediately notify a parent or emergency contact if, while in the care or supervision of the licensee, the child
2) A licensee must notify the medical health officer within 24 hours after
(Child Care Licensing Regulations, sec. 55)
If any of the incidents described in Schedule H bellow occurs while child is in care or under supervision of the educator or licensee, the staff will follow these steps:
The staff meeting will be held to review the incident to prevent one from happening again. The existing policies applying to the incident will be reviewed and reinforced. Corrections will be made if needed. The licensee will ensure that staff is familiar with the changes and singed for it.
Please, note "choking" means a choking incident involving a person in care that requires
(a) first aid,
(b) emergency care by a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner, or
c) transfer to a hospital.
The definition of “choking” has been amended to require facilities to report incidents of choking where first aid practices were administered.
