HSD MA Compliance Email

The Rock County HSD Compliance Committee has created a form that staff can use to report concerns regarding non-compliance as outlined in the HSD MA Compliance Plan. All staff is responsible for reporting concerns with non-compliance and the HSD Compliance Committee will investigate those concerns to the best of our ability in a non-retaliatory, transparent manner. Staff reporting by using the form has 3 methods of reporting that are outlined on the form. Those methods are:

• Confidentiality and Anonymity are not requested
• I wish to remain Confidential
• I wish to remain Anonymous

As stated above, all investigations are completed in a non-retaliatory manner and the HSD Compliance plan has a whistle-blower clause to protect staff who are reporting concerns in good faith. The HSD Committee and members respect all reporters’ decisions as to their status of reporting. We ask that whichever status a reporter selects, please include as much detail as you are able to provide. We will follow-up with reporters that do not choose to remain anonymous. For those that do wish to remain anonymous, the more detail we have, the more thorough an investigation we are able to complete. While the reporting form is our preferred method of reporting suspected non-compliance, we also provide alternative ways to report via email, supervisor/manager contact, or telephone contact.

Reporting non-compliance is everyone’s responsibility. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and adherence to the Rock County Human Services Department’s MA Compliance Plan.

Thank you.
