Section 110-145-1830 - Are there requirements for time-out or quiet rooms?

Locked time-out or locked deescalation rooms are prohibited in all facilities. In certain circumstances, facilities may have time-out rooms or deescalation rooms that allow for securing the youth in a room, requiring a staff to be present, holding the door closed so the youth may not exit. In these cases you must meet the following requirements:

(1) Have a window that allows for visual monitoring of all areas of the room;

(2) Have approval from the WSP/FPB or a certificate of compliance stating that the facility is in compliance with the fire codes with Washington state amendments;

(3) Have approval from the LD licensor stating the facility is in compliance with the department's behavior management guidelines; and

(4) Have current written approval of the LD administrator.
