Quarterly/biannual sexual abuse incident review checklist
Quarterly/biannual sexual abuse incident review checklist
Sexual abuse incident reviews conclude with recommendations for changes. Depending on the frequency of incidents reviewed, the Sexual Abuse Incident Review Checklists could be reviewed twice or four times a year, but they must be conducted at least annually, to determine whether any problems were rectified and recommendations adopted, and, if not, to address any identified issues. This questionnaire can help staff complete the annual report on incidents and corrective actions required under PREA Standard 115.288/388: Data Review for Corrective Action.
