PARTICIPANT DRUG POLICY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I understand that the SAFE Family Programs have a zero tolerance drug policy and the
participants in the SAFE programs are made aware of this policy as it is set out in the
agreement to participate.
The SAFE Programs drug and alcohol policy provides that if a drug or alcohol use prior
to a visit is suspected then the visit will be terminated immediately. SAFE has the right
and will require any party suspected of consuming drugs or alcohol prior to a visit to
submit to a drug screening test either by hair or blood sample within three (3) hours
of the time the party arrived to visit or meet a child.
This policy applies if for any reason the staff or supervisors of the SAFE programs
suspect that a party visiting a child in any setting, whether the party is visiting a child
in a group setting, a privately supervised visit, a custodial party picking up a child
from the SAFE program or a party participating in the exchange of children for
visitation, has consumed or used drugs or alcohol prior to arriving at the SAFE
program location.
Under no circumstances will a child be released to a custodial party if the use of drugs
or alcohol is suspected. The party will be required to arrange for a third person
to come to the SAFE program location to pick up the child and the party. The party will
be responsible for having someone pick up the vehicle, or returning later to get the
vehicle. If the party refuses to follow these requirements law enforcement will be
called and the attorney's involved in the case notified.
I understand that my refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol screening test or a
positive test will lead to my immediate termination from the SAFE program and that
the court will be notified of both the termination and the reason for termination.
