OAR 413-015-0470
Notifications at Conclusion of CPS assessment

(1)

Requirements for providing notifications. The CPS worker must:

(a)

Unless Child Welfare determines that disclosure is not permitted under ORS 419B.035 (Confidentiality of records), notify the reporter, if the reporter provided Child Welfare with contact information, whether contact was made, whether Child Welfare determined abuse occurred, and whether services will be provided.

(b)

Provide verbal notification to the alleged victim’s parents, including a non-custodial legal parent, and caregivers of all CPS assessment dispositions (unfounded or unsubstantiated, unable to determine or inconclusive, or founded or substantiated) and whether Child Welfare will provide services as a result of the CPS assessment. If the verbal notification of the CPS assessment disposition and service provision may make a child or adult unsafe, a CPS supervisor may authorize an exception to the requirement to provide the notification based on documentation supporting that conclusion. When the child’s parent is the perpetrator, the notice under subsection (c) of this section must be provided.

(c)

Provide written notification to perpetrators of founded or substantiated dispositions and the disposition review process as outlined in OAR 413-010-0700 (Purpose) to 413-010-0750 (Revising Founded Abuse Dispositions in the Department’s Electronic Information System). If the notification could make a child or adult unsafe, a CPS supervisor may authorize an exception to the requirement to provide notification to the perpetrator based on documentation that supports this conclusion.

(d)

Provide the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) notification of the completed CPS assessment by providing TSPC with a copy of the completed CPS assessment when a teacher or school administrator, as defined in OAR 413-015-0115 (Definitions), is identified as an alleged perpetrator in a report. Regardless of the disposition, a copy of the completed CPS assessment must be sent to TSPC after information related to the reporter’s identity and other confidential information is removed.

(e)

Provide the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) notification of the completed CPS assessment when a CPS assessment involves a home certified by ODDS. Regardless of the disposition, a copy of the completed CPS assessment must be sent to ODDS after information related to the reporter’s identity and other confidential information is removed.

(f)

Provide Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) notification of the completed CPS assessment when a CPS assessment involves a home certified by OYA. Regardless of the disposition, a copy of the completed CPS assessment must be sent to OYA after information related to the reporter’s identity and other confidential information is removed.

(g)

Provide Disability Rights Oregon notification of the completed CPS assessment when a report of abuse was alleged to have occurred at a school or in an educational setting and the report involves a child with a disability. Regardless of the disposition, a copy of the completed CPS assessment must be sent to Disability Rights Oregon after information related to the reporter’s identity and other confidential information is removed.

(2)

(a)

Who made the notification.
