Inspection of Partner Provider – A Partner Provider must allow MDCPS to inspect

Inspection of Partner Provider – A Partner Provider must allow MDCPS to inspect all aspects of a program and to interview any staff member or child at any time. MDCPS representatives must be admitted immediately, without delay, and be given free access to all areas of a facility and grounds. If any area of a facility is set aside for private use by the facility’s owner, MDCPS representatives must verify that no children are present in that area and that the area is inaccessible to children. Any area to which children have/had access is presumed to be part of the facility and not the private area of the owner or operator.
