| Central Registry |
|
Names of individuals are placed on the statewide Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry if there is a preponderance of evidence that the individual has abused or neglected their child and the future risk to the child is high or intensive (based on the structured decision making risk assessment tool). Note: The Child Protection Law requires certain persons' names to go on Central Registry regardless on risk.
When names are placed on the Central Registry, the DHS sends each individual a written notification which includes:
-
Information on the individual's right to review the case record.
-
Information on the individual's right to appeal the decision to place their name on the Central Registry.
-
Instructions on how to file an appeal.
For information on how to obtain a central registry clearances, see the Central Registry Clearance Request page.
