Standard #: 22.1-289.035-B-4 Description: Based on a review of five staff records and interview, the center did not obtain the results of a sex offender registry check and a search of the child abuse and neglect registry or equivalent registry from one state in which one staff member had resided in the preceding five years within the required timeframe.
Evidence: 1) The record of Staff #4, employed on 08/30/21, indicated the staff had resided in anoother state outside of Virginia within the last five years. The record did not contain a sex
offender registry check or a search of the child abuse and neglect registry from the state.
2) During interview, a member of management confirmed the required out-of-state background checks for Staff #4 had not been obtained within the required timeframe.

to be requested within the first 30 days of employment. An out-of-state criminal history record information check was not required because the state participate in the National Fingerprint File (NFF) program through the FBI.Plan of Correction: The center will request the missing background checks.
