A DCFS Licensing Representative set us this alerts
I am sending this to all of my providers. You first and above all else are mandated reporters. If you are aware of a provider who is out of compliance, in which it could be potentially damaging to the children in their care; you have a duty to act on behalf of those children. If you are aware of a daycare that is unlicensed, that too is also potentially damaging to children. One provided is about to lose her only source of income because this worker was not informed when other licensed providers were aware of this providers issues, and yet failed to inform this worker of those concerns. I could have done some preventive maintenance that may have resulted in violations but not the revocation or surrendering her license. If you are aware of something that could be a concern no matter what you may think of the person or what your relationship is with that person; it is better to be safe, cautious, and remember those children come First. This is the responsibility of a mandated reported.
Second always use a CPR/First Aid provider who is approved by either the American Red cross or the American Heart Association.
