Standard 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-4
Based on review of five staff records and verification from the director, the center failed to obtain an out-of-state background check for one staff member.

Evidence:
1. The record for Staff Member #3 did not contain a completed search of the child abuse and neglect registry for the state in which the staff member resided before moving to Virginia within the last five years. The date of hire for Staff Member #3 was 05/19/2021.
2. The director confirmed that the out-of-state search of the child abuse and neglect registry had not been completed for Staff Member #3.
Plan of Correction: The director sent off for the out-of-state search of the registry immediately and will follow up if she has not received a response within 45 days. In the future, the director will send for any out-of-state background searches of the registry as soon as the staff member is hired.
