using the process in
R6-5-5009.

and shall include the effective date of the change.

or is notified that a registered provider may have failed or may be unable to
meet the needs of a family due to one of the following circumstances, the
Department shall direct a Contractor to change a registered provider's listing
status from referral listing to information listing using the process in

a. A child has allegedly been abused,
neglected, exploited, or abandoned while in the registered provider's
care;

violence, domestic disputes, or incidents involving deadly weapons or dangerous
or narcotic drugs; or

Services or a law enforcement agency determines that the threat to a child has
been eliminated; or
c. DHS
