Violations

1
Standard 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-4
Based on a review of six staff records, it was determined that the provider did not ensure that the center obtain a copy of the results of a sex offender registry check and search of the central registry check from any state in which the applicant has resided in the preceding five years.

Evidence:
1. The record for staff #2 (date of hire 2/6/17) did not contain documentation of a completed sex offender registry check and search of the central registry check from the state of New Jersey.
2. Staff #6 (Program Director) reviewed the record for the staff #2, and confirmed that the required out-of-state sex offender search and search of the central registry check was not completed even though she lived in the state of New Jersey within the last 5 years.
Plan of Correction: The provider responded: We will request the required out-of-state background checks for staff #2 and forward the results to the Licensing Inspector when received. All new employees that have lived outside the state of Virginia will not start until the criminal history record information check and sex offender registry check from the state they previously resided in has been received.
