LOCATE COMPLAINT POLICY Through the LOCATE service, parents share feedback with the LOCATE staffon the programs in the files: licensed child care centers, registered family childcare providers, and accredited preschools and camps. While this feedback is attimes positive, it sometimes concerns complaints parents have about childcaregivers. Of course, LOCATE and the Maryland Child Care Resource Networkwant to use this information in a way that is fair to providers and parents, whileprotecting children as well. Therefore, the LOCATE Complaint Policy wasdeveloped and has been in effect since its approval by the Maryland Committeefor Children Board in November 1983. According to this policy, all complaintsmade to LOCATE about child care providers/facilities are recorded. The type ofcomplaint is then determined:

Less Serious Complaint – No Violation: Complaints that do not involveviolations of child care regulations; complaints about situations which do not posea threat to the safety, health or welfare of a child.

Less Serious Complaint Involving Violation: Complaints of any violationof Office of Child Care (OCC), Maryland State Department of Education(MSDE) regulations and/or the Health Department that do not pose a threat tothe health, safety or welfare of a child.

Serious Complaint: Any threat to the immediate health, safety or welfare of achild. When a parent calls LOCATE with a complaint, the referral specialistadvises him/her to register the complaint directly with the appropriate regulatoryagency and/or Protective Services. Names and telephone numbers of the personwith whom the parent should speak are provided. When a Serious Complaint isreceived concerning one of the providers of facilities in the LOCATE system, noreferrals are made by the referral specialists to that provider/facility. TheLOCATE director also communicates with the appropriate regulatory agencypersonnel about the complaint and maintains the “hold” on the provider/facilityuntil the agency’s disposition of the complaint is known. Should the investigationresult in no action, the “hold” status is removed from that provider’s/facility’srecords. Should the license or registration be revoked, the record is removed fromthe LOCATE files. Providers are advised of LOCATE’s actions in writing. Aprovider may appeal the LOCATE director’s decision to cease referrals. Appealsare first addressed to the LOCATE Advisory Committee. Final appeals may bemade to the board of the Maryland Family Network.

It is the position of LOCATE and MFN that the Complaint Policy is both fairand workable. Safeguards and due process are afforded to the care givers in thefiles, and parents’ and children’s rights to safety are addressed, as well. Anyquestions on this policy should be addressed to LOCATE at Maryland FamilyNetwork (MFN) at 410-659-7701.
