An unusual incident is any significant event involving the health and safety of children under the provider's care. (Includes accusations of abuse or neglect against the provider or provider's staff, injury of a child, which requires professional medical attention, or notice of litigation where the provider is named party or defendant.) School Readiness Providers and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Providers are required to report unusual incidents to the Coalition (Contract Specialist), by phone or email, no later than the close of business on the next business day. A type-written report is required within three (3) business days from the date of the incident.
