Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) I want to assure families and licensing that we have always made every attempt to met the regulations regarding clearances and provisional hire statuses. In the future we will continue to check the rules regarding provisional hires. The multiple times in the last few years these have changed has made it increasingly difficult to always keep up with the new regulations and many changes. It is a difficult ask that staff members have a child abuse clearance or request of clearances before a start date.

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) We have since tested the system every 30 days to maintain compliance with the regulations for Pennsylvania.
