Staff also understood that any such use would be documented in accordance with facility policy. The auditor found that the facility has appropriate written procedures, accessible educational materials, available interpretation resources, and staff knowledge to ensure residents with disabilities or limited English proficiency receive equal access to PREA education, reporting methods, investigations, and victim services.   Compliance Determination Based on a review of facility policies, the Pre-Audit Questionnaire, resident educational materials, observations made during the facility site review, and interviews with the PREA Coordinator, staff, and specialized residents, the auditor determined that NNJDC has established appropriate procedures to provide meaningful access to PREA information and services for residents with disabilities and residents with limited English proficiency. The facility also prohibits the routine use of resident interpreters except in narrowly defined emergency circumstances. Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the requirements of Standard 115.316, and no corrective action is required. 115.317 Hiring and promotion decisions   Auditor Overall Determination: Meets Standard Auditor Discussion Evidence Used to Determine Compliance with Standard 115.317   Documents Reviewed: ·                     NNJDC Pre-Audit Questionnaire  ·                     NNJDC Policy 115.317 – PREA Hiring and Promotion Decisions  ·                     NNJDC Five-Year PREA Background and Promotion Form  ·                     Employee, Contractor, and Volunteer Personnel Files  Interviews Conducted: ·                     Director  ·                     PREA Coordinator  ·                     Human Resources Staff
