Child Protective Investigations

PURPOSE:

The Department intends to amend Rule 65C-29.003, F.A.C, Child Protective Investigations, to add a provision regarding requesting out-of-state local criminal background checks and clarify when second tier consultations are required.

SUMMARY:

The amendments will state that if a family has lived in another state within the past five years, the investigator must determine whether to contact law enforcement agencies in the other state to request local criminal history information that is necessary for assessment purposes. Additionally, second tier consultations will no longer be required (1) When an impending danger safety plan is initiated and a dependency petition is not filed in court, and (2) When there are no identified danger threats in the home, but the child’s risk assessment score is high.
