How are ICTs handled when the case involves a victim<br />

<strong>of</strong> Domestic Violence (DV)?<br />

In instances when an ICT is known in advance, the<br />

counties must work together to ensure that information<br />

regarding DV services, waivers, and security issues are<br />

transferred as seamlessly as possible to avoid<br />

endangering the family and to reduce duplication <strong>of</strong><br />

verification for the family who is transferring to another<br />

county.<br />

The WTW 37 – Permission to Release Domestic Abuse<br />

Information When Moving to Another County form (out <strong>of</strong><br />

drawer) must be provided to the recipient when she/he<br />

self-declares or when it is known that the participant is<br />

receiving DV services. At a minimum, the WTW 37<br />

should be provided at application and at each subsequent<br />

waiver review meeting with an explanation that she or he<br />

has the right to terminate the release at any point.<br />

When LA County is the sending county, the SSS EW/SSS<br />

GSW should provide the participant with references to<br />

local DV services that are located in the receiving county.<br />

These services can be found by calling 1-800-799-SAFE<br />

and/or by contacting the receiving county. The DV<br />

victim’s safety is <strong>of</strong> paramount concern; thus, strict<br />

confidentiality must be maintained. All communication <strong>of</strong><br />

DV issues, including documentation regarding DV<br />

services and waivers, must be kept confidential. This<br />

information can only be released if the recipient has<br />

signed a WTW 37.
