Each certified residential juvenile sex offender treatment program must be monitored to ensure that it is in compliance with the standards established in this chapter. Monitoring is conducted by department personnel with understanding and expertise in program evaluation and the treatment of juvenile sex offenders.
Each program may be monitored through a site visit. This site visit may be timed to coincide with other licensing inspections or evaluations. The department's visits to a program to investigate complaints or for any other lawful purpose may take place at any time and shall be conducted according to Minnesota Statutes, section 241.021, subdivision 1.
Each program must maintain sufficient documentation in client and operational records to verify that it complies with the requirements of this chapter. Each program must also document compliance with its written policies and procedures, including, but not limited to: the number of clients served; the type, amount, frequency, and cost of services provided; the consistency of services delivered with individual client treatment plans; the effectiveness in achieving the client's treatment goals; and other information requested by the department on forms provided by the department.
