Standard 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-4
Based on a review of two staff records, one record did not contain the required out of state background checks. Evidence: 1. The record for Staff #1 (hire date 1/11/2021) indicated the staff member resided in New York in the last five years. 2. The record for Staff #1 did not contain a child abuse and neglect registry search for New York. 3. The record for Staff #1 did not contain a sex offender registry search for New York.
Plan of Correction: Administration will ensure the out of state background checks are obtained in the required timeframes for any staff that have been residents of a state other than Virginia in the last five years. Administration will provide licensing with documentation to show the New York background checks have been requested.
