V. AVAILABILITY OF CLIENT AND CASE INFORMATION To ensure immediate access and ability to continually track the whereabouts of thousands of children and youth in care, 150 accounts will be requested through use of Virtual Privacy Network (VPN). These accounts will allow designed staff access to GroupWise and RICHIST (the case and client tracking system) from remote locations. Additionally, the 24/7 Child Abuse/Neglect Hotline will always continue operation and will have access to both systems. While the VPN can be programmed into staffs home computers, another availability option is that the department is purchasing 150 Thin Client computers which will have 129
the remote access capacity. While up to 125 of these would be assigned to workers in the normal course of business so they can use them in the field, the remaining 25 could be used for administrative individuals during a potential crisis situation. Additionally, the other 125 could be resubmitted and reassigned to the most critical staff if there is a pandemic flu situation. All providers, including foster and relative care parents are aware to contact the 24/7 Child Protective Hotline if they have an emergency need off hours or on weekends. They would use the hotline for necessary communication if they cannot reach staff in their normal office locations. VI. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS 1. Ensure protection of children (24/7 child protective hotline and investigative services). 2. Service children in care (in their homes or in out-of-home placements). 3. Provide supervision and 24/7 custody and control of incarcerated youth. 4. Provide supervision and services to youth in the community on probation. 5. License day care, foster care and child placing agencies to ensure the appropriate placements are used for children and youth in need of out of home placement. 6. Contract for residential and non-residential programs for children and youth in care and ensure the appropriate placements are used consistent with treatment needs. 7. Contract with array of community providers to service clients in the community. VII. OPERATIONALIZING PLAN Statement: In the normal course of business, the department operates out of central office, regional child welfare offices, regionalized juvenile probation offices and the RI Training School buildings. Depending on the crisis requiring alternative staffing, decreased staff availability, etc., some or most of those offices may be closed. Regardless of any such closure of offices, two locations will continue to be operational 24/7. Those are the buildings of the Rhode Island Training School in Cranston and the Child Protective Services Hotline located at 101 Friendship Street in Providence in the Central Office Building. In times of emergency, the Hotline can serve as the clearinghouse for emergency communications regarding children at risk or in placement throughout the state. ADMINISTRATION: The responsibility of senior management personnel: o Implement department's continuity of operations plan o Oversee transition of responsibilities o Evaluate deployment of personnel on regular basis to ensure continuity of essential operations o Reallocate resources as needed to provide services that are essential, in high demand, or are new or alternative 130
