Exhibit H Submitting an Incident Report vs. Calling the Hotline.docx

This document is an incident reporting matrix from the State of Arizona's Department of Child Safety, specifically from the Office of Procurement located in Phoenix. The document delineates a comprehensive chart outlining various types of incidents that require either an incident report submission or a direct hotline call, with each incident type receiving a specific reporting protocol.

The matrix covers 24 distinct incident categories ranging from serious events like individual deaths, suicide attempts, and physical/sexual abuse allegations to operational incidents such as medication errors, property damage, substance abuse, police involvement, and child runaways. The document provides a clear, structured approach to reporting critical incidents, indicating whether each type of event necessitates an incident report, a hotline call, or both, which serves as a crucial guide for managing and documenting potentially sensitive situations within child safety and care environments.
