Community Care Licensing Division – Immunizations Sheila Fleming, -Bureau Chief, Maria Mayorga – Policy Manager Licensing Permit and Cecelia Asher. Falk, -Licensing Analyst • The originator of the law regarding immunizations saw the need for increased safety for the health of all children…CCLD moving forward must determine best implementation of the law • …initial messaging wasn’t as clear as it needed to be – they clearly own this • On-line training module was created for Field offices, question and answer sessions, additional support given – very few inquiries from the Field offices for clarification- 280 Analysts across the states • There are 4 child care advocates in the state that support CCLD on this topic and can field our issues and questions http: //www. cdss. ca. gov/inforesources/Child-Care-Licensing/Child-Care-Advocates • You can also contact local managers • Still learning about how to interpret, but have indicated to Analysts that documentation needs to be very clear if there is a citation. Although there is still inconsistency in Analyst approaches. • • • Some employees and site supervisors are not in compliance and so citations are being given (Health and Safety code) Provider information handout/tool http: //www. ccld. ca. gov/res/pdf/Child. Care. TBTool. pdf Enroll in the Provider Information Network (PIN)
Concerns from CCCECE • Students are being turned away when requesting observations because of interpretation of the law and different Analyst approaches • Observation students and parents are not required to have immunizations unless they engage in Care and Supervision activities, . then you might be cited • “Care and Supervision” REG 101152 - personal hygiene, medications, dental assistants; “maintenance of rules for the protection of children”; taking an active role with the children and not turning to the staff; fieldtrips; cupcakes can’t be handed out by parents (monitoring food intake an special diet) • Community Colleges could create a document for students to sign to acknowledge limitations during observations • Practicum students – do they need fingerprinting? CCLD REGs defines who needs to be fingerprinted – REG 101170 e. . g, 16+ hours in the classroom a week
