We are taking this opportunity to respond to suggestions from local district staff on ways to improve the timeliness and efficiency of the current method of determining whether prospective foster parents, adoptive parents or child care employees are subjects of indicated child abuse or neglect reports. We are inviting local departments of social services to consider assuming responsibility for the initial phase of this screening process. Districts may find that the assumption of this responsibility, while maintaining the integrity of the clearance process, is both expeditious and cost-effective.
