Urgent Information!
ATTENTION
PROVIDERS! NEW ALERT FROM DSS! PLEASE READ!
We have heard from two of our child care
regional offices that there are persons posing as licensing workers
trying to gain access to family child care provider’s homes. The
story we’ve heard is that they are indication they are there to
provide a letter grade to the facility.
The Department has reminded our staff that they
must provide picture identification upon entry into any licensed
facility. We’ve also asked staff to do the following when making
visits:
· Advise
licensees that it is standard protocol for licensing staff to present
identification before entering a facility;
· Encourage
licensees to ask for identification if a person trying to gain entry does
not follow the above protocol;
· Advise
licensees that they may call the local licensing office for verification,
if necessary;
· Encourage
licensees to contact local law enforcement if persons posing as licensing
staff try to gain entry into their facility without proper
identification.
Additionally, in the Orange County Child
Care office, we have not hired any new staff in over a year.
We are updating our web site with this same
information.
Please share this information with fellow
providers.
Thank you,
Mary Kaarmaa,
Orange County Child Care
Manager
