I. PURPOSE
With the passage of Senate Bill 89, families that have a child placed with them in an
emergency or for a compelling reason, licensed foster family homes or certified family
homes, approved homes of relatives or nonrelative extended family members, and
parents under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, including, but not limited to non-minor
dependent parents who have their child placed with them (hereinafter referred to as
“eligible families”) are eligible to receive a time-limited monthly payment or voucher for
childcare and services from a childcare navigator. SB 89 also provides for the provision
of trauma-informed care training and coaching for childcare providers to support their
work with foster children.
The State’s implementation of SB 89 is the Emergency Childcare Bridge Program which
requires participating counties to specifically contract with the local designated Resource
and Referral agency (R&R) for the provision of childcare navigator and trauma-informed
care training and coaching. In addition, the State allows participating counties to
contract for the administration of childcare voucher payments with a local Alternate
Payment Program.
In Fresno County, the R&R is the Central Valley Children’s Services Network
(SUBRECIPIENT), and in addition, they are an Alternative Payment Program provider.
Central Valley Children’s Services Network (“SUBRECIPIENT”) will provide 1) Childcare
Navigator services, 2) Trauma-Informed Care Training and Coaching, and 3) Voucher

NOTICE OF CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that Penal Code section 11166 and the
contractual obligations between County of Fresno (COUNTY) and Central Valley
Children’s Services Network (SUBRECIPIENT) related to provision of emergency
shelter care services for COUNTY’s dependent children, requires that the undersigned
report all known or suspected child abuse or neglect to one or more of the agencies set
forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section (§) 11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child
abuse or neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon a
child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined in
P.C. §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3,
and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim
of child abuse or neglect. (P.C §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to any
police department or sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or
security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County
Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could
cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her
training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child does
not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse. (P.C.
§11166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements.
Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department
head or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the
child abuse reporting requirements.
