Violations

Standard 22.1-289.035-A
Based on a review of records and interview, the religious exempt program did not have all employees undergo updated background checks (Criminal Record Check and Central Registry Search) every 5 years.
Evidence:
Twelve staff records were reviewed.
The record for staff #2 contained the most recent Criminal Record Search that was dated 10/15/2018 which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #3 contained the most recent Criminal Record Search that was dated 2/6/2018 which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #5 contained the most recent Criminal Record Search that was dated 3/6/2018 which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #1 contained the most recent Search of the Central Registry that was dated 6/4/2018 which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #3 contained the most recent Search of the Central Registry that was dated 5/31/2018, which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #5 contained the most recent Search of the Central Registry that was dated 6/5/2018, which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #8 contained the most recent Search of the Central Registry that was dated 10/4/2018, which was more than 5 years ago.
The record for staff #10 contained the most recent Search of the Central Registry that was dated 5/31/2018, which was more than 5 years ago.
The program director acknowledged that these background checks had expired and showed documentation of working on updates.
Plan of Correction: The program director erroneously thought these background checks were good for another year. Upon realizing that these background checks had expired she began the process of updating them. The PD provided documentation of having sent for new Central Registry Reports for those who expired and is awaiting the results.
In addition, new fingerprints have been conducted for staff requiring updated Criminal Record Reviews and these results are pending, as well.
The updated results of each expired background check will be emailed to the inspector as they are received.
