Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 500 - EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM › Subpart E - PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS/CLIENT RIGHTS › Section 500.145 - Mediation

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Parties/Purpose
1) Any party having a dispute involving any
				matter under Part C, including the identification, evaluation or placement of a
				child for EI services, or the provision of EI services, may request Mediation
				to resolve the disputes. Mediation may be used at any time, regardless of
				whether a request for a Due Process Hearing or a State Complaint is
				filed.
2) One purpose of a
				Mediation process is to provide an alternative to the Due Process Hearing as a
				way to resolve disagreements. In virtually all cases, it is less costly and
				less adversarial than a Due Process Hearing. Neither party is asked to abandon
				its beliefs about the child's ability. Rather, the parties are asked to
				consider alternatives that could be incorporated into the child's IFSP and to
				be aware of the concerns and problems expressed by the other party.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Department utilizes protocols (see Appendix A) to direct
				  the work of all DHS approved Partner Abuse Intervention Programs (PAIPs). This
				  Part establishes those protocols and identifies specific requirements for
				  programs that work with individuals who commit intimate partner violence. To be
				  approved as compliant with this Part, PAIPs must comply with Subpart B. PAIPs
				  work with individuals who, because of their abusive acts, have been convicted
				  of crimes, those who could have been convicted of crimes had they been
				  prosecuted, or those who could have been prosecuted had they been arrested. A
				  list of PAIPs determined to be in compliance with Subpart B is made available
				  to the Illinois courts via the Internet (www.state.il.us/agency/dhs) and is
				  updated semiannually. The Illinois courts may use this list to refer
				  individuals to approved PAIP programs.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
PAIP services must work closely with other entities to fully
				  address intimate partner violence. Coordination of services is essential to
				  abuser accountability and victim safety.
a) PAIPs are responsible for reaching out to
				domestic violence victim service programs to establish and maintain cooperative
				working relationships in order to establish accountability for perpetrators and
				ensure safety for victims. The cooperative relationships shall incorporate one
				or more of the following activities:
1)
				Solicit and consider domestic violence victim services programs' input and

2) With the assistance of domestic violence
				victim service programs, develop policies governing PAIPs that are in addition
				to the program requirements of this Subpart.
3) Develop a process for responding to the
				victim's use of violence and engagement in appropriate services.
4) Hold periodic meetings with domestic
				violence victim service programs to discuss mutual problems and concerns such
				as monitoring, influencing the criminal justice system, safety issues and
				programmatic changes.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The screening process is key to providing
				effective partner abuse services.
1) PAIP
				participants must be individuals who are perpetrators of intimate partner
				violence. Individuals who are generally violent, have perpetrated violence
				against someone other than an intimate partner, or are victims of domestic
				abuse are not eligible for services within a PAIP.
2) An individual, face-to-face screening is
				the method used to ensure that participants meet the eligibility
				requirements.
3) Intake must
				determine whether an individual can appropriately participate in and benefit
				from PAIP services.
4) The
				screening provides the opportunity to gain a picture of the person's pattern of
				behavior within intimate relationships, rather than solely focusing on the
				precipitating incident that led to referral for PAIP services.
5) The screening also allows program
				personnel to identify other issues that may need to be addressed, such as
				substance abuse and mental illness. An assessment, or clinical methods that
				lead to a clinical diagnosis, and treatment recommendations are typically
				beyond the scope of PAIPs.

				to, or in conjunction with, and separate from, the PAIP.
c) Participants who refuse substance abuse
				treatment or are placed on a waiting list must not be refused service by the
				PAIP, unless substance use impairs a participant's ability to benefit from PAIP
				services. In this case, PAIPs must refer the participant to the referral source
				with specific treatment recommendations and criteria for re-entry into
				PAIP.

a) PAIPs'
				policies and procedures must reflect priority for the safety and autonomy of
				victims and their children in every aspect of the PAIP program, including
				intake forms, court reporting, victim contact, etc. When PAIPs address issues
				other than abuse, they must do so with full recognition of safety issues for
				the victim and the possible negative effects of that information, such as
				further acts of violence, confusion about responsibility for violent behavior,
				and confidentiality. When PAIP participants are referred to other resources for
				any form of counseling, PAIP staff must collaborate with the providers of those
				services subject to Section
				501.210.
b) PAIPs are expected to be knowledgeable of
				and skilled at victim safety planning. When possible and appropriate, safety
				planning must be conducted during contacts with victims.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
All programs must expect and have procedures in place to
				  respond to contacts initiated by the victim or current partner. Procedures must
				  be developed with victim safety as a priority. Issues such as who should be
				  contacted, purpose of the contact, and documentation must be addressed in the
				  policy. PAIPs that choose to make victim contact must adhere to the following
				  requirements:
a) Determine if the
				victim is safe, discuss safety planning and orders of protection, and link the
				victim to a domestic violence victim services program, if the victim
				desires.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Confidentiality must be strictly adhered to for the safety of
				  the victim, as well as to promote accountability for the abuser. PAIPs are
				  expected to be knowledgeable of all applicable confidentiality laws, such as
				  the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act [740 ILCS
				  110 ], that impact the delivery of PAIP services as well as impact referrals to
				  other social services agencies. To promote abuser accountability and facilitate
				  communication with referring bodies, releases of information are needed from
				  participants. In addition to the MH/DD Confidentiality Act, the following
				  guidelines shall be followed:
a)
				During intake, PAIPs shall explain to participants that communication is
				confidential, but that the law provides for exceptions, such as reporting child
				abuse, elder abuse and indications of suicide or intent to harm. PAIPs shall
				provide an explanation of the release of information forms, their purpose, and

				intervention, and/or to collaborate on an ongoing basis on an intervention
				plan. The appropriate signed releases and documentation must be obtained and
				kept on file.

a) PAIPs must
				develop procedures for accepting and rejecting referrals. Those procedures must
				be developed in conjunction with the referral system and must include reasons
				for rejection of referrals and recommendations for alternative
				sanctions.
b) PAIPs must establish
				policies and procedures for reporting noncompliance with program rules and

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
It is allowable for PAIP program participants to transfer

				  transfer between programs. The PAIP that is receiving the transfer must ask the
				  person to sign a release of information that will be submitted to the former
				  PAIP and coordinate services whenever possible. Gathering previous intake data
				  and program participation information will promote continuity and improve
				  service delivery. It is not necessary for participants to start the program
				  over as all Illinois protocol compliant PAIPs are following the same
				  requirements; however, some participants may need additional group sessions to
				  meet program requirements in this Part. For out-of-state transfers, the
				  receiving program must ask the participant to sign a release of information.
				  Once signed, the PAIP must contact the former program to gather program and
				  participant information to determine the appropriate length of
				  services.
