Violations
4Evidence: 1) The most recent TB screening in the record for Staff #3, hired on 04/02/19, was dated 05/28/19. The TB screening expired on 05/28/21. 2) During interview, a member of management confirmed this is the most recent TB screening on file for Staff #3. Staff should resubmit TB test results at least every two years from the date of the first initial screening or testing, or more frequently as if recommended by a licensed physician or the local health department.
Evidence: 1) The two telephone reference checks in the record for Staff #1, hired on 06/14/2021, did not include the dates of contact or signature of the person making the call. Each staff record should contain documentation that two or more references as to character and reputation as well as competency were checked before employment or volunteering. If a reference check is taken over the phone, documentation shall include: dates of contact; names of persons contacted; the firms contacted; the results; and signature of person making call.
Evidence: 1) The record for Staff #1, hired on 06/14/2021, did not contain the results of a national fingerprint-based criminal history check prior to hire. 2) During interview, a member of management confirmed the required results of a national fingerprint-based criminal history check were not obtained for Staff #1 prior to hire.
Evidence: 1) The record for Staff #1, hired on 06/14/21, indicated the staff has resided outside of Virginia in the last five years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check or the results of a child abuse and neglect search from the state Staff #1 had resided. The state is a National Fingerprint File (NFF) state; therefore, an out of state criminal history name check is not required. 2) During interview, a member of management reported the required out-of-state background checks have not been requested. The sex offender registry is required to be obtained prior to hiring. The out-of-state search of child abuse or neglect is required to be requested within the first 30 days of being hired.
