Critical Incident Reporting
Ohio Administrative Code 5101:2-9-23 Notification and Documentation of Critical Incidents requires that critical incidents for youth placed in residential facilities be reported to the person or agency holding custody within twenty-four hours of the incident.
Using the new OCAF functionality of Critical Incident Reporting, Agencies will be able to submit their reports directly to custodial agencies and custodians starting on 6/21/2024. The expectation is that all Critical Incident Reports will be submitted through this portal as of 7/7/2024. Additionally, an Ohio SACWIS enhancement will be available on 7/9/2024 that adds a Case Activity Log sub-category value of Critical Incident Reporting. An e-mail notification to State Licensing Specialists and Supervisors will be sent with details of the Activity Log upon its' completion.
