Discipline or Dismissal

The UW Child Development Lab follows the University’s Academic Staff Policies and Procedures for discipline or dismissal in cases of unsatisfactory performance or misconduct. Behaviors that may result in disciplinary action or termination include frequent absenteeism, inability to perform job tasks, poor performance evaluations, confidentiality violations, failure to ensure children's health and safety, repeated policy violations, lack of responsiveness to program participants, inappropriate child discipline, criminal convictions, and falsification of staff records. These policies ensure accountability and uphold the standards of care and professionalism at the CDL.
