Pa. Code 5310.151

Client rights

This section requires Community Residential Rehabilitation Services (CRRS) facilities to maintain written policies and procedures governing children's rights to inspect their own records, with specific conditions under which the Director may deny access. It also mandates that CRRS programs report all cases of suspected child abuse occurring in the child's home, group home, or host home in accordance with Pennsylvania's protective services chapter. These requirements supplement the general client rights provisions found elsewhere in Chapter 5310.
