Which of the following is the correct action when a participant waives the Criminal History Check Waiver Form for a CSW?

When a participant chooses to waive the Criminal History Check (CHC) requirement for a CSW, the action that aligns with policy is to complete the Department-approved CHC Waiver Form. This is the official document that records the waiver, captures the participant’s consent and understanding of the associated risks, and routes the request through the proper approval channels. Completing and submitting this form ensures there is a formal, auditable record that the waiver was granted in compliance with Department guidelines, and it helps protect both the participant and the program by documenting the rationale and authorization. Doing nothing would leave the waiver unrecorded and noncompliant. Revoking the waiver is a different action that would reverse the permission to proceed without CHC, not the immediate step when a waiver is exercised. Providing education and counseling, while important for risk awareness, does not substitute for the formal documentation and approval process required for the waiver.
