(b) The license holder must document the parent’s receipt of the education and keep the documentation in the parent’s file. The documentation must indicate whether the parent agrees to comply with the safeguards. If the parent refuses to comply, program staff must provide additional education to the parent at appropriate intervals, at least weekly for the duration of the parent’s participation in the program or until the parent agrees to comply with the safeguards. Subd. 3. Parental supervision of children. (a) On or before the date of a child’s initial physical presence at the facility, the license holder must complete and document an assessment of the parent’s capacity to meet the health and safety needs of the child while on the facility premises, including identifying circumstances when the parent may be unable to adequately care for their child due to: (1) the parent’s physical or mental health; (2) the parent being under the influence of drugs, alcohol, medications, or other chemicals; (3) the parent being unable to provide appropriate supervision for the child; or (4) any other information available to the license holder that indicates the parent may not be able to adequately care for the child. (b) The license holder must have written procedures specifying the actions to be taken by staff if a parent is or becomes unable to adequately care for the parent’s child. Subd. 4. Alternative supervision arrangements. The license holder must have written procedures addressing whether the program permits a parent to arrange for supervision of the parent’s child by another client in the program. If permitted, the facility must have a procedure that requires staff approval of the supervision arrangement before the supervision by the nonparental client occurs. The procedure for approval must include an assessment of the nonparental client’s capacity to assume the supervisory responsibilities using the criteria in subdivision 3. The license holder must document the license holder’s approval of the supervisory arrangement and the assessment of the nonparental client’s capacity to supervise the child, and must keep this documentation in the file of the parent of the child being supervised. 245A.1444 TRAINING ON RISK OF SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT DEATH AND ABUSIVE HEAD TRAUMA BY OTHER PROGRAMS.
