Child Care Certification Policy Manual

8.1 - Injuries and CPS Investigations

The WISCCRS Complaint module was modified in March 2015 to document self-reported incidents and additional information regarding child injuries. New fields allow the certification worker to document if the child was injured, if medical attention was needed, if CPS also investigated and, if so, CPS investigation results. If a child was injured the certification worker is required to document the location, cause and result as follows:

Location:

• Indoors

• • Other Location

  • Outdoors

  • Vehicle

• Cause

• • Fall/Trip/Slip/Pinch

  • Incident but no injury (medication error/illness)

  • Struck by or against object or person

• Result

• • Bump/Bruise/Concussion

  • Cut/Scrape/Scratch/Open wound

  • Death

  • Fracture/Strain/Sprain

  • Other Result
