Texas Licensed Child-Placing Agency Administrator (LCPAA) Set 4 Practice Exam

Session length

1 / 20

When must I report an investigation of abuse or neglect by an entity (other than the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Child Care Investigations division) of an employee, professional level service provider, foster parent, contract staff, volunteer, or other adult at the agency?

To Parents Within 24 hours.

To Licensing Notified after the investigation is concluded.

To Licensing Within 24 hours after learning of the investigation.

When a situation involves potential abuse or neglect connected to someone at the agency and investigated by an entity other than the DFPS Child Care Investigations division, licensing oversight requires prompt notification. The best practice is to inform the Licensing division within 24 hours after you learn that the external investigation has begun. This early alert helps ensure regulatory oversight and allows licensing to assess safety, determine if interim protections are needed, and monitor compliance even while the investigation is in progress.

Reporting to parents within 24 hours is not the mandated channel for this type of information, and waiting until the investigation is finished defeats the purpose of timely oversight. Reporting to Licensing only after the investigation concludes would also delay any necessary regulatory action.

To Licensing and to Parents Within 24 hours.
