Violations

3
Standard 22.1-289.035-B-4
Based on a review of six staff records and interview, the center did not obtain the results of a search of the child abuse and neglect registry or equivalent registry from any state in which one staff member had resided in the preceding five years within the required time frame.

Evidence: 1) The record for Staff #3, hired on 04/21/22, indicated the staff had resided in a state outside of Virginia within the last five years. The record did not contain a search of the child abuse and neglect registry from the state. 2) During interview, a member of management confirmed the required out-of-state check was not obtained for Staff #3 within the required time frames. The out-of-state search for founded complaints of child abuse or neglect is required to be requested within the first 30 days of being hired.
Plan of Correction: The request was sent to the other state on 06/03/22 and the results will be provided upon receipt. Moving forward, out-of-state background check searches will be conducted within the required time frames.
