Difference between Complaint History and Compliance History

What is the difference between a complaint history and compliance history?

"Complaint history provides information on complaints that a facility violated regulations governing child care facilities.  The complaint history on this website also includes any observed noncompliance noted during the complaint assessment visit.  The purpose of regulations is to protect the health, safety and well-being of children in child care facilities.

"Compliance history provides additional information related to a child care facility's license. Examples of additional information are:
How long the facility has been licensed and personnel changes
Types of training the provider has on record with the division
Any special conditions or exceptions on the provider's current license
Observed noncompliance noted during other types of visits
Other actions such as fines, revocations, and denials

Please note: Complaint History alone does not give a complete picture of a child care facility.  For a more complete history, the Child Care Division encourages individuals to contact the Division to get a facility's compliance history.

Complaint History

Child Care Division staff conduct an onsite assessment of all complaint allegations.

Valid: 
A complaint is found valid when there is evidence that the violation occurred.  The information that is displayed includes only complaints that were found valid,  and violations that were observed as part of the onsite complaint assessment.
Valid and Corrected:
It will also list the rules that were violated and note whether the violation was corrected during the onsite complaint assessment.
Electronic complaint records are on file from January 1, 2004.
Complaint information is provided on facilites that are actively licensed, in the process of becoming licensed, or that are found to be doing illegal child care.
