   45. Background Screening Documents CCF Handbook, Section 7.4.1 (45-07)

   Background screening was not completed: [ every five years after the initial screening.] CCF Handbook, Section 5.2 Comments: Licensing Specialist observed on staff member (MB) background screening prints expired on 1/29/25. During inspection, Licensing Specialist observed that a new screening was needed and that staff member did not have the 5-year re-screen of fingerprints conducted. Licensing Specialist provided technical assistance from the CCF Handbook: 5.2 Re-Screening A screening conducted under this rule is valid for five years, at which time a re-screen must be conducted in the same manner as the initial screening. Child Care Facility Handbook Page | 53 A. The five-year re-screen is required for all child care personnel. B. The five-year re-screen must include, at a minimum, a criminal records check (both national and statewide), a sexual predator and sexual offender registry search, and child abuse and neglect history of any state in which an individual resided during the preceding 5 years. C. Child care personnel must be re-screened following a break in employment in the child care industry that exceeds 90 days. Child care personnel/individual with a break in service that exceeds 90 days are considered unscreened child care personnel/individuals until completion of re-screening. These child care personnel/individuals shall not have unsupervised contact with children in care. D. If child care personnel take a leave of absence, such as maternity leave, extended sick leave, migrant child care programs, etc. re- screening is not required unless the five-year re-screen comes due during the leave of absence. Corrective Action: During inspection the Provider initiated a new background screening for staff member. The staff member was dismissed until background screening results are update and current. Terminating the employee brought this standard into compliance. Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2025-05-07. View official inspection document (report f00af005-3099-429b-9b1a-4d2c5d859180)
