Tazewell CPMT reviews OCS audit preparations and schedules FAPT/CPMT training
Summary
CPMT reviewed the Office of Children’s Services FY2024‑2026 audit plan, agreed to complete the CSA Self‑Assessment collaboratively, and requested OCS trainings on FAPT/CPMT roles and responsibilities; the coordinator will schedule sessions and email assessment sections monthly.
Tazewell County’s CPMT on July 22 reviewed the Office of Children’s Services (OCS) Audit Work Plan for FY2024‑2026 and the OCS Self‑Assessment Workbook in preparation for a FY2025 audit listing the locality. The coordinator walked members through expectations for onsite engagements and self‑assessment validations and referenced Code of Virginia §§ 2.2‑2649 and 2.2‑5206 as the statutory basis for OCS and CPMT responsibilities.
Members raised concerns about completing the assessment: some CPMT members reported uncertainty answering particular sections during a prior meeting. The coordinator told the body the assessment is intended to be completed collaboratively by CPMT and that the local CSA Policy and Procedure Manual contains most answers. Roberta Boyd suggested and members agreed that after each meeting the coordinator should email the next section of the assessment to members so they could prepare and mark questions for group discussion.
Under unfinished business, David Taylor discussed Tazewell’s participation in the Enhanced Technical Assistance (TEA) program and members unanimously agreed to receive OCS training specifically designed for FAPT and CPMT on roles and responsibilities, family engagement, continuous quality improvement and strategic planning. Mr. Taylor said he would contact Ms. Sexton to schedule the trainings. The coordinator also provided core competency materials and job descriptions as reference tools for completing the self‑assessment.
The CPMT was reminded that completion of the workbook may require selection and review of client records if notified for self‑assessment validation; the coordinator directed members to prepare for that possibility ahead of a formal audit.
