The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a Provider Information Notice (PIN) reminding licensed child care providers, children's residential licensees, and foster family agency-approved homes to exercise caution when supervising children around bodies of water. The PIN emphasizes the need for constant supervision, proper adult-to-child ratios, and adherence to water safety requirements. The notice also provides a non-exhaustive list of regulations and statutes relating to water safety requirements for child care providers and children's residential providers. Additionally, the PIN highlights the importance of following local public health guidance and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance to protect against COVID-19 during water activities. Healthcare facilities must ensure they follow all water safety licensing requirements to avoid potential consequences for non-compliance.
