Update to SWI Handbook CCL Section 5000 (PATS 9102)
The content of section 5000 is being revised in the following ways:
• Addition of definitions for allegations.
• Removal of requirement for SWI staff to consider exemption criteria for DCL operations, as this may only be determined by CCL staff. All information regarding child-care operations must be sent to CCL for review, with the exception of reports involving child care provided in a caregiver’s home, foreign exchange/foster programs, juvenile detention/correctional facility, treatment facility for chemically dependent youth, and boarding schools.
• Addition that a DFPS employee can be an AP of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child in an RCCL placement if that child is in CPS conservatorship. This includes staff from any DFPS program and would be an intake to RCCL.
• Addition that a home health nurse for a child in care cannot be an AP. Assess for NSUP on foster/caregivers, and an APS Provider Investigations intake.
• Addition that intakes/I&Rs for RCL may be taken regardless of whether an RCL operation is active or inactive.
• Addition of how to handle reports regarding sex offenders in foster homes.
• Update to how to handle reports involving victims 18 years old or older.
