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.

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

This citation category applies under Illinois' Health Care Worker Background Check Act when a background check identifies a Category II record — offenses such as certain drug felonies, robbery, or aggravated assault. These are presumptively disqualifying, though DCFS may grant a formal waiver under specific conditions. Check the status shown with this finding: these are commonly recorded once screening has surfaced the record and the facility has responded.

Staff member working WITHOUT a completed background check (Child Care Act §7(a))

Illinois law (Child Care Act §7(a)) requires daycare employees to pass a criminal history check before working with children. This citation is recorded when that screening is incomplete or not documented for someone in the facility's personnel records. DCFS typically pairs it with a corrective plan requiring the screening be completed.
