(b)

A written policy and procedure on documenting, reporting, and saving information about critical events and other types of incidents that includes, but is not limited to:

What situations, circumstances, or events warrant a written report. This must include critical events (see OAR 413-215-0091 (Licensing Umbrella Rules: Responsibilities of Licensees)(11)(b)) but may include additional types of incidents or events that the agency tracks internally or is required to provide by other regulatory agencies.

(B)

What information will be included in a written report. This must include, but is not limited to, the following:
(i)
Description of the incident including, but not limited to, any injury, accident, or unusual incident. If the incident involves a hold or restraint, whether the child in care was injured or reported pain or injury.
(ii)
Whether the report meets the definition of a critical event (see OAR 413-215-0091 (Licensing Umbrella Rules: Responsibilities of Licensees)(11)(b)).
(iii)
Description of the actions the child-caring agency took in response to the incident.
