225 ILCS 10/8.6
The Department of Early Childhood shall address through rules and procedures the failure of individual staff at day care centers, day care homes, and group day care homes to report suspected abuse or neglect of children within the child care facility as required by the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
The rules and procedures shall include provisions for when the Department of Early Childhood learns of the child care facility's staff's failure to report suspected abuse or neglect of children and the actions the Department of Early Childhood will take to (i) ensure that the child care facility takes immediate action with the individual staff involved and (ii) investigate whether the failure to report suspected abuse and neglect was a single incident or part of a larger incident involving additional staff members who failed to report, or whether the failure to report suspected abuse and neglect is a system-wide problem within the child care facility. The rules and procedures shall also include the use of corrective action plans and the use of supervisory teams to review staff and facility understanding of their reporting requirements.
The Department of Early Childhood shall adopt rules to administer this Section.
