If the Tier 1 with SCHR process is completed and the subject does not receive a favorable final suitability determination, the CAC will be revoked. The COR shall notify the Contract POC NLT three business days if it encounters difficulties with the background check process that will prevent it from completing the process.
1.6.9.10. Additional information on the background check process can be found at http://www.opm.gov/investigations/background-investigations.
1.6.9.11. Re-verification of background checks (IRC and FBI fingerprint check) is required every 5 years.
1.6.9.12. Safety, Parental Access, and No Touch Policy:
1.6.9.13. Safety. Contractor shall comply with the safety program. Contractor shall comply with all applicable rules, regulations, orders, and other lawful requirements established to prevent injury, loss or damage to persons or property.
1.6.9.14. Abusive Situations Contractor shall minimize the potential risk of abusive situations in watch care settings. Access to children by strangers, delivery, maintenance personnel, and other visitors will be restricted. A visitor sign–in/out log in each watch care room or with appropriate personnel. Because many child abuse incidents are opportunistic, tasks such as playground supervision, diapering, and toileting supervision, if any, will be shared by caregiving employees so no one individual always remains in the same area or role. A daily record of the children in attendance in each activity room/module will be maintained for all programs including full–day, part–day and hourly care. This record will include the child’s name and time–in/time–out and the time– in/time–out of watch care providers and Chaplaincy volunteers assigned to the room/location. See Army Regulation 608-10 (2-26).
1.6.9.15. Parental Access to Children Parents shall have access to their child’s activity room or module at all times of program operation. Watch care workers shall take appropriate steps to ensure children are released only to parents or designated adults.
Proper identification will be requested of unfamiliar adults to verify that the person who picks the child up is the authorized designee. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) will be developed which addresses care of children who remain after closing hours when no previous arrangements have been made. Under no circumstances will a Watch Care provider take a child to the employee’s home unless authorized by the installation commander to do so. See Army Regulation 608-10 (2-26) (e).
1.6.9.16. No Touch Policy: All care providers shall sign a document that lists and indicates knowledge and understanding of the “Touch / No Touch Policy” prior to providing the provision of care to ensure a correct under-standing. See Army Regulation 608-10 (2-28).
1.6.9.17. The touch policy will be accessible to all watch care providers, be incorporated into orientation training, and will be available in written form for parents using watch care services. The policy will address, at a minimum, appropriate and inappropriate touches.
1.6.9.18. Appropriate touching involves—
Recognition of the importance of physical contact to child nurturance and guidance.
• Adult respect for personal privacy and personal space of children.
• Responses affecting the safety and the well–being of the child (e.g., holding hand of child when crossing the street; holding child gently but firmly during a temper tantrum).
• Watch care providers modeling appropriate touching. (Note. Examples of appropriate touching include hugs and reassuring touches on the shoulder.)
1.6.9.19. Inappropriate touching involves the following:
• Coercion or other forms of exploitation of the child’s lack of knowledge.
• Satisfaction of adult needs at the expense of the child.
• Violation of laws against sexual contact between adults and children.
• An attempt to change child behavior with adult physical force often applied in anger.
• The reinforcement concept with child of “striking out” to respond to a problem.
(Note: Examples of inappropriate touching include forced goodbye kisses, corporal punishment, slapping, striking, or pinching, tickling for prolonged periods, fondling or molestation.)
1.6.9.20. Contractors that work with or teach youth under the age of 18 years are subject to local and state-side background checks. The Requiring Activity Manager will determine the extent of background checks required. The Contractor employee may begin performance of the contract after receiving a favorable local background check.
The Contractor shall replace the employee should results of the stateside background check, if required, be unfavorable as determined by the Requiring Activity Manager. The Contractor’s replacement of the employee with the unfavorable background check shall be within a timeframe provided by the Requiring Activity Manager. The Contractor shall also replace employees whose background check, during their tenure of employment, renders them with an unfavorable local or stateside background check, as determined by the Requiring Activity Manager.
1.6.9.21. The Contractor shall forward a copy to the COR and the Requiring Activity Manager of each favorable background check within seven (7) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor, identifying such with the appropriate contract number (Deliverable A.0004). The Contractor shall forward a copy to the COR and the Requiring Activity Manager of each unfavorable background check within seven (7) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor, identifying such with the appropriate contract number (Deliverable A.0005). The COR will forward a copy of each background check to the Contracting Officer. When the Government awards a non-personal services contract directly to an individual, the failure of the individual to provide a favorable background check will be grounds for termination.
Reading, surfing the internet, playing games on a phone, posting on Facebook and like activity while providing Childcare are unacceptable.
1.6.9.22. Reporting of probable child abuse: All contract employees will be required to repost signs/evidence of child abuse that indicate to a reasonable person that a child has been physically or sexually abused at the first observation of such evidence.
Examples include excessive bruising beyond what is typically incurred by children at play, evidence that hands or wrists have been bound, swelling or trauma to the genitals, or rectum. Upon discovery of such evidence of probable abuse, the contract employee will immediately contact ALL, a representative of the Religious Support Office, Chaplain in charge of service and Garrison Emergency Services. The COR will provide the Contractor with telephone and email contact information for the above, at the beginning of each contract year
Contractor shall comply with local SOP touch policy.
