Please Note: BDDS is temporarily allowing online CPR/First Aid certifications. DSPs completing CPR certification during COVID will need to complete the hands-on component, when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
If you have a recently expired CPR/First Aid certificate- BDDS will temporarily allow DSPs to continue working ninety (90) days past the expiration of their CPR/First aid.
Please Note– BDDS will temporarily waive the requirement that a potential staff have, prior to hiring, a county-level criminal history check completed for each county in which the potential staff resided and worked in the three years prior to the date of the criminal history check. BDDS will instead require that this county-level criminal history check be completed within sixty (60) days of hire.
