Evidence:
1. The record for staff #7 (date of hire 9/10/21) did not contain documentation of a completed search of the central registry finding from Hawaii. The sworn statement indicated staff #7 had previously lived in Hawaii within the last 5 years.

If it can't be located staff #7 will need to complete a new search of the central registry. All new staff will complete a search of the central registry for nay other state they have resided in outside of Virginia in the last 5 years and we will ensure it is received within 45 days.
