Technical Assistance:

Today a tour of the home was conducted and special attention was paid to the doors, locks and barriers which make the pool and hot tub inaccessible to the children in care. It is of utmost importance that the caregivers and household members are diligent and meticulous in their awareness and precautions with regard to the pool and hot tub while children are present.
