2.3.8 Aggregate data on serious injuries, deaths, and substantiated cases of child abuse that have occurred in child care settings each year must be posted on the consumer education website. This aggregate information on serious injuries and deaths must be organized by category of care (e.g., center, FCC, etc.) and licensing status for all eligible CCDF provider categories in the state. The information on instances of substantiated child abuse does not have to be organized by category of care or licensing status. The aggregate report should not list individual provider-specific information or names.

a) The designated entity to which child care providers must submit reports of any serious injuries or deaths of children occurring in child care (98.16 (ff)) and describe how the Lead Agency obtains the aggregate data from the entity. Licensed provider must submit reports of any serious injuries or deaths of children occurring in child care to Child Care Licensing through Public Health within 24 hours of the incident. They are to call their assigned Child Care Licensing Specialist and this information is entered into the report shown on the website. CCDF providers who are not licensed must submit reports of any serious injuries or deaths of children occurring in child care to their assigned Resource Developer through the Child Care Subsidy Program. These reports must also be completed within 24 hours of the incident, and is documented on the report available on the website.
b) The definition of "substantiated child abuse" used by the Lead Agency for this requirement. Child abuse is substantiated by the Lead Agency when the preponderance of the evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that child abuse or neglect occurred. Nebraska Page 56 of 314
