Preparing for Changes
 

My comment is more about how the changes in the policy will be implemented. What will be the transition process? Will additional training be provided?  For example, the requirement to check DMV records.  Staff will need time to receive training on the databases.  The regulations also mention having resource parents sign a confidentiality statement.  Will the State provide a form letter or are the jurisdictions responsible for creating these documents?  I just want to ensure that we have the resources and supports to effectively incorporate the changes into our programs.
