Or. Admin. Code § 419-230-0180 - Abuse Investigation Report
(1) Time Line to Complete the Abuse
Investigation Report.
(a) Unless an extension
is granted as provided in subsection (c) of this section, an OTIS investigator
must complete an abuse investigation report and electronically submit the abuse
investigation report for supervisor approval within 60 calendar days from the
date the report was assigned for investigation.
(b) An OTIS supervisor must review and
approve the completed abuse investigation report within five business days of
the electronic submission by the OTIS investigator.
(c) An extension to the time line may be
granted when:
(A) An OTIS supervisor may
approve a one-time 30 calendar day extension when good cause is shown, such as
when critical information necessary to make an abuse determination is
outstanding.
(B) The director of
OTIS or designee may approve additional extensions only for reasons beyond the
control of OTIS, such as to allow a law enforcement investigation to
proceed.
(C) When an extension is
granted under this subsection, the OTIS investigator must ensure notification
of the approved extension and the new due date for the report's completion is
provided to TSPC, DOE, and the licensed administrator for the education
provider associated with the report. Notification to the respondent must be
made if the notification would not compromise safety or a criminal
investigation.
(2) The OTIS investigator must prepare a
written report that includes all of the following:
(a) A description of the allegation of abuse
being investigated, including the date, location, and time, if known.
(b) An outline of steps taken, and
information gathered in the investigation including, but not limited to, a list
of all witnesses interviewed, and summary of information obtained from
interviews and list of sources of information reviewed, such as records,
documents, reports, etc. and summary of information obtained from those
information sources.
(c) A specific
determination of whether the abuse allegation is founded, unfounded or unable
to determine, as provided in OAR 419-230-0170 or OAR 419-230-0173 and the basis
for that determination.
(d) A list
of all individuals and entities notified under OAR 419-230-0190 (Notifications
at the Conclusion of the Investigation).
(e) The name and title of the individual
completing the abuse investigation report.
(f) Documentation that an OTIS supervisor has
reviewed and approved the abuse investigation report.
(3) Failure of OTIS to include all elements
of section (2) does not invalidate the written report or abuse
determination.
