Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: •Updating the Automated Background Check Management System (ABCMS) in child care is critical to comply with federal law, ensure child safety through accurate, up-to-date background checks, and streamline staff onboarding. It enables efficient tracking of employee qualification status (valid for five years), manages rosters, and automates results from the NC SBI. The information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare facility within five business days.
