We must also prioritize mental health supports, wellness practices, staffing structure, classroom ratios, policies, procedures, and staff awareness of the standards of conduct. Visit ACF-IM-HS-22-07 Reporting Child Health and Safety Incidents as a refresher to ensure your program creates and fosters a culture of program safety and staff supports.
