Staff also indicated that residents may be relocated to another housing unit or pod if necessary to ensure protection.   The PAQ indicated that during the past 12 months, there were no instances in which the facility determined that a resident was subject to a substantial risk of imminent sexual abuse, and therefore no related incident documentation was available for review.   Compliance Determination Based on a review of facility policy, the Pre-Audit Questionnaire, and staff interviews, the auditor determined that NNJDC has effective procedures in place to ensure immediate protective action is taken when a resident is identified as being at substantial risk of imminent sexual abuse.   Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the requirements of Standard 115.362, and no corrective action is required. 115.363 Reporting to other confinement facilities   Auditor Overall Determination: Meets Standard Auditor Discussion Standard 115.363 – Reporting to Other Confinement Facilities   Documents Reviewed: ·                     NNJDC Pre-Audit Questionnaire  ·                     NNJDC 115.363 PREA Reporting to Other Confinement Facilities
