Emergency regulations, effective January 1, 2009, provided for reporting and disclosure of information related to cases of child abuse and/or neglect that result in fatalities. A Child Fatality/Near Fatality County Statement of Findings and Information form (SOC 826) was attached to the emergency regulations package. Further revisions were needed, and this ACL includes the new SOC 826 form. The revised SOC 826 (1/09) form must be used, from the date of this letter, for all fatalities and near fatalities that are suspected or determined to be the result of abuse and/or neglect.
