[quote=Anonymous]I had an AP who was sent home for safety concerns.  She completed her 1st year successfully with 1 HF, then moved on to another HF in her extension year and went into rematch.  We were her 3rd HF and 1st rematch.  We had a series of emails back and forth with her over several different incidents over several weeks.  The documentation helped, especially emails where she admitted to doing the wrong things that we said she did.  She also wrote that she knew it was wrong but did it with the previous HF and nothing bad happened and she can show us how she did what we told her not to do, as if we would change our minds about it being unsafe if we understood how she did it.  The LCC and Director also spoke to her several times and they told us that she insisted what she did was not unsafe.  She basically did not want to acknowledge her wrong actions and was not open to adjust her actions.  The Director also said she yelled at her over the phone.  We had young children and told the agency that maybe she would be more suitable with older children in another rematch.  The agency told us that after her 2nd HF (1st rematch), they concluded that she should not care for older children.  Since we had younger children and it didn't work out, they decided to send her home because if she couldn't match with older or younger children, then there are no appropriate age group left for her to care for.

I don't know what the agency's true reason was (there was so much not disclosed to us and some history that we learned from a loose mouth LCC afterwards) but there was the explanation I got.

Bottom line, she said she said will land her in rematch, even for safety situations because as PP said, there are 2 sides and you want to give the AP or the HF a benefit of doubt.  Substantiated documentation in writing where AP acknowledged what HF alleged is true and where AP expressed no desire to correct because AP insisted that what she did was okay - could get her sent home.[/quote]
