{"report_id":366,"form_id":"22","user_id":81,"organization_id":13,"question_id":"322","question_type":"Free_Text","text_answer":"A CP report made on June 7, 2017, for suspected neglect regarding a licensing violation incident that occurred on May 2, 2017 was influenced a local agency response using defensive practice, as the critical incident occurred on June 6, 2017. At the time of the licensing violation on May 2, prior to the critical incident, the local agency made the decision to issue a correction order to the foster home rather than make a CP intake report for suspected neglect. The decision to not make a CP report was made through consultation between the worker, colleagues, and a supervisor. Supporting the consultation between agency staff was the belief that not every licensing violation is a CP report, as well as, the perception that the CP system would be inundated if every incident was reported.  \r\n\r\nFurther supporting a CP report being made on June 7, 2017 for an incident that occurred on May 2, 2017 was the fact that the foster mother reported that she was having a freezer delivered that day and the delivery people were coming in and out of the house, making the door alarm go off each time. The foster mother did shut the door behind the delivery people when it was left open as they went in and out. At the time, she was also vacuuming the house to get ready for the foster child's parents to come for a visit. Given this information, the staff's perception was that the safety risk did not reach the threshold of needing to make a CP report, and the child escaping outside when the door was left open was considered to be accidental in nature.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the worker was new and was still learning the process of making a CP report.  This was also influenced by the guidance and interpretation of the guidance in regards to making a CP report.  Overarching this was the foster care licensing statute which supported a consult between the licensing social worker and a CP screener to discuss an incident and determine what action needed to be taken.  Normative practice for when these consultations occur is for the information to be documented on a form, rather than documenting it in SSIS.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:34:11 pm","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:34:11 pm","id":34400}
