CCASEC46IBackground checksSubstantiated (plan issued)

Staff member with NON-WAIVABLE disqualifying criminal record working with children (Health Care Worker Background Check Act §25-I)

This citation category applies when a background check identifies a Category I record — the offense classes Illinois never permits a waiver for. Under the Act, a person with such a record cannot work with children. Check the status shown with this finding: a Category I citation most often reflects the screening system doing its job — the check surfaced a record and the facility acted on it — rather than a continuing situation.

407110Background checksSubstantiated (plan issued)

Background check NOT completed or documented for personnel (or probationary employee left unsupervised with children)

This citation applies when required background-check documentation is missing or incomplete for personnel, or when a probationary employee is documented unsupervised with children. DCFS classifies background-check compliance as a critical safety standard, which is why this category is treated as high-risk.

How we rate this daycareIllinois DCFS records

DCFS doesn't grade violations, so we classify each citation by the rule it cites: rules tied to immediate child safety (supervision, background checks, discipline, and the higher-risk building and health rules) are red; administrative rules (ratios, training, paperwork) are yellow. Classification is per citation, so two findings in the same category can differ.

🔴 Serious concerns — any of:

  • A child-safety (red) violation is still unresolved — past its correction deadline, or cited again as a repeat
  • DCFS issued a Protective Plan — a formal finding of an active risk to a child
  • 2 or more violations are past their correction deadline

🟡 Watch carefully — any of:

  • A child-safety (red) violation was corrected or is being corrected
  • 3 or more administrative (yellow) violations
  • 1 violation is past its correction deadline
  • An active corrective plan — DCFS formally required a fix

🟢 Clean

Actively licensed, with no violations (or only minor, corrected ones) in your lookback window.
