Rules and Violations Process
DCYF is implementing a new process for handling rule violations at all facilities. This process will provide fair, clear, and consistent guidance for both staff and young people.
The approach:
- A three-tiered system that outlines rule violation levels. Levels are low-level, general, and serious.
- Interventions based on the rule that is broken. Staff will be trained in these interventions to address behaviors.
- Staff will be able to quickly respond to behavior.
- Provide a structure to address violations.
- Allows young people to have consistent and fair interventions.
We will be providing future opportunities for feedback.
