Agencies funded to provide Mental Health Program Element services must submit unusual incident reports to the Division whenever incidents occur that may adversely affect client health or safety, using formats and categories established by the Division. Incidents involving allegations of child abuse or neglect must be immediately reported to the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), and abuse in rooming/boarding/nursing homes must be reported to the County Welfare Agency. This reporting requirement does not replace the obligation to document accidents and injuries in clients' clinical records.
