7.5.4  Specific Procedures Pertaining to Type of OHI Provider

The following procedures will apply to Investigations conducted on various out of home care providers by the Out-of-Home Investigation Unit (OHI):

Note:  While OHI will conduct the investigation, the OHI worker may request local county assistance in emergency situations or in those instances, when the child needs to be viewed immediately (but there is no emergency) and the OHI investigator cannot see the child within a reasonable time.  Local staff are expected to support OHI investigators by providing courtesy child victim interviews, pursuant to current policy, when mandated victim contact time frames are an issue.
