How to read this record

A compliance visit is a licensing visit by an OCCL specialist. When the specialist finds a regulation has not been met, the visit record carries a citation: the regulation's code and short description, the specialist's corrective-action note describing what was found, and the correction record — the date correction was due, whether the state has marked it completed, the date it was corrected, and how. A complaint investigation begins with a complaint; its record carries the state's result and the investigator's written conclusion. Delaware does not grade citations by risk or severity, so no grade is shown — the specialist's note is the substance of the record. One visit can produce several citations. A citation the state later records as corrected stays in the history; that is what a licensing record is.

OCCL Standards ComplaintFebruary 21, 2022Result: Substantiated

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.

OCCL received a complaint on February 9, 2022, regarding not providing meals as required. An investigation was completed on February 15, 2022. The complaint is substantiated, because after reviewing the documentation from the Reporter, it shows Child #1 was present for eight hours and was not offered a meal due to the child napping.
