    Documentation always happens first. Picture taken if we can get one. If the child is verbal I ask non-leading questions: oh. It looks like you have an owie. How did that get there? I document what the says. I ask teachers if they have seen any other signs.

    I then report to CPS. I ask for the intake number for the call.

    I then document and summarize the situation and email my licensor so she has all the information.

    Continue to monitor the child daily.
