A complaint investigation was conducted today in response to a complaint received by the Fairfax Licensing Office on January 24, 2024. The complaint alleged areas of concern regarding Tuberculosis screenings, staff annual training, communicable disease reporting, and hand washing.
A review of 2 staff records was conducted, one classroom was observed, and three staff members were interviewed.
Evidence was found to support the allegation of an untimely Tuberculosis screening for staff and therefore the complaint is deemed to be valid. One other non-complaint related violation was cited during todays inspection.
