Violations

1
Standard 22.1-289.035-B-4
Based on a review of four staff records, the center did not obtain the results of a criminal history record information check, the results of a sex offender registry check, and 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 #1, hired on 08/31/2021, indicated the staff had resided outside of Virginia within the last five years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check.
2. The record for Staff #2 , hired 09/17/2021, indicated the staff had resided outside of Virginia within the last five years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check nor a search of the child abuse and neglect check.
3. The record for Staff #4, hired 10/06/2021, indicated the staff had resided outside of Virginia within the last five years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check, a search of the child abuse and neglect registry or the out of state criminal background check.
The out-of-state criminal history record information check and the sex offender registry check are required to be obtained prior to hire. 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. During the interview, management confirmed the required out-of-state checks were not obtained for within the required time frames.
Plan of Correction: Per the Director: I will request and obtain all out of state background checks within the required time frames. I will submit the request for the missing background checks within 10 days.
