These considerations are based on the BACB’s Code-Enforcement Procedures. You are not required to use this checklist, but it will help you submit a clear and thorough Notice. Always refer to the BACB website to access and review the most current version of the RBT Ethics Code (2 . 0) . If you are considering submitting a Notice against a BCaBA or BCBA, please use the Considerations for Reporting an Alleged Violation Against a BCaBA/BCBA document.  \nIf you answer yes to a question, continue on to the next question. If you answer no, please stop and address the issue or consideration before submitting a Notice.  \nConsiderations BEFORE Reporting an Alleged Violation Against an RBT  \n\n| Question to consider | Details to consider | Yes | No |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Does the alleged violation involve the abuse or neglect of a client, a charge or conviction of a violation of the law, or a violation of subsection 1. 03, 1. 05, 3. 01, 3. 02, 3. 03, 3. 04, or 3.05 of the RBT Ethics Code (2 . 0)? | If you answer yes to this question, and if you are one of the first individuals made aware of the situation, be prepared to submit mandated reports to law enforcement or other state or federal entities or boards before you submit a Notice to the BACB. The BACB can take summary action (e.g. , impose practice restrictions during completion of Code-Enforcement Procedures), but it is critical that you involve local entities consistent with your state’s mandated reporting requirements. You may also be asked to share documentation confirming your compliance with these requirements. If you answer no to this question, and if the alleged violation does not pose a significant risk to clients or others,\u003Cbr>it is the responsibility of the RBT’s supervisor or requirements coordinator to investigate the allegations and determine the next steps (e.g. , performance management plan, Notice) . If you are not the RBT’s supervisor or requirements coordinator, you should address your concerns with them directly. You can find the RBT’s supervisor by searching the RBT’s name in the Certificant Registry. |  |  |\n| If you are the RBT’s supervisor, requirements coordinator, or employer, and if you answered no to the previous question, does the alleged violation involve repeated instances of misconduct or violations that have persisted despite attempts to resolve them? In other words, have you made and documented reasonable efforts to resolve the alleged violation (e.g. , identified the cause; provided feedback, supports, and training as indicated; initiated a performance management plan)? | If you received correspondence from someone about your supervisee potentially violating the RBT Ethics Code (2 . 0), it is your responsibility to evaluate the information shared and make documented efforts to address the situation directly. If the alleged violation does not pose a significant risk to clients or others, you should investigate the allegations and determine the next steps, which may or may not include reporting to the BACB. |  |  |\n\n|  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Is there clear and direct supporting documentation of the alleged violation? | For the BACB to process a Notice, there must be clear supporting documentation of the alleged violation. The BACB does not conduct investigations or interviews with individuals involved in a Notice. The BACB can only evaluate and consider the documentation submitted by the Notifier and the Subject. If possible, strive to submit direct documentation related to an alleged violation (e.g. , video, reports or other documents, clear email or text communications) . If the documentation includes witness statements, it is best for the witnesses to ","cbCaiqHYeI4oRJ6t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqHYeI4oRJ6t","pdf",167298,"English","# Overview\n# Considerations BEFORE Reporting an Alleged Violation Against an RBT\n## Decision questions and documentation guidance","[{\"question\":\"What should you do after answering “yes” or “no” to the checklist questions?\",\"answer\":\"If you answer yes, continue to the next question.
