Day Care Investigations and Day Care Regulation (PATS 13545)

Before this revision, investigations and regulation of both types of child care (day care and residential care) were combined into one chapter of the Statewide Intake Handbook. This revision separates day care from residential care. This is the chapter about Day Care Investigations (DCI) and Day Care Regulation (DCR). It has been reorganized and updated to follow the same format as the other chapters in the SWI Handbook.
