Complaint·October 24, 2024

10 of 10 staff interviews revealed that management has never told staff that they cannot report incidents to outside agencies. All staff understand their roles as Mandated Reporters. An interview with the Director revealed that staff are encouraged to report incidents to management so that incidents can be thoroughly examined to determine all courses of action needed. Thus, due to information obtained through interviews conducted with the Director, and staff, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided along with a copy of the Appeal Rights. A notice of site visit was also provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
