(a) The community residential rehabilitation service (CRRS) must have written policy and procedures to assure that the child’s parent, the agency having custody of the child, or the child, if the child is 14 years of age or older, have the right to inspect the child’s records provided that access can be denied to portions of the record under the following conditions.

(1) The Director determines that:

(i) Disclosure of specific information would be a substantial detriment to the child or to the involvement of the child’s family in family therapy.

(ii) Disclosure of specific information would identify and breach any confidentiality of other persons.

(2) The denial of access must be recorded, with justification, in the child’s record, dated and signed by the Director.
