      OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

      “On October 22, 2021, OCCL received a complaint regarding not allowing services to be provided at the child care home and the provider not being respectful when speaking with others. An investigation was conducted on November 9, 2021. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for the Provider not being respectful when speaking to others because the provider denied she was disrespectful. This complaint is substantiated because the Provider told the parents, teacher, and therapist that the child s therapeutic services could not be provided in the child care home.”
