Mental health staff indicated that follow-up contacts and relevant documentation
are recorded in both the confidential Hampton-Newport News Community Services
Board system and the facility’s HYPE electronic log. The auditor reviewed available
intake assessments and related documentation, which supported compliance with
required screening and follow-up procedures.
Similarly, NNJDC Policy 115.381(B) requires that residents identified as having
previously perpetrated sexual abuse be offered a follow-up meeting with a mental
health practitioner within 14 days of the screening. Staff interviews confirmed this
practice.
Policy 115.381(C) limits the dissemination of information related to prior sexual
victimization or abusiveness to medical and mental health practitioners and other
staff who require the information to inform treatment, housing, programming, and
security decisions, or as otherwise required by law. The PREA Coordinator confirmed
restricted access to sensitive records, and the auditor observed that resident files
are securely stored in the intake area.
NNJDC Policy 115.381(D) requires that medical and mental health practitioners
obtain informed consent from residents before reporting prior sexual victimization
that occurred outside an institutional setting, unless the resident is under 18.
Medical and mental health staff confirmed that they review consent with residents
and their mandated reporting obligations at the outset of services.
