Question: Can we look into getting a picture ID card from CYS for minor children? The card that they currently have does not allow them into some facilities because they don't have a picture ID to show.
Answer: Picture ID's for CYSS children/youth enrolled and participating in programs are not needed since the Child, Youth Management System (CYMS) was established worldwide to identify children/youth enrolled and actively participating. Besides the use of CYMS as the Point of Sales mechanism, it is also one of the checks and balances used for day-to-day child/youth accountability. The actual CYSS card issued to the family for the children/youth enrolled must be presented and scanned every day at the facility front desk upon arrival. This is a DA-CYSS mandated policy to ensure accountability of each child/youth present at the facility at all times of the facility operation. A picture ID would not change accountability policy; therefore picture ID's are not cost effective. We are not sure what facilities youth have been denied access to because of lack of a picture ID. CYSS does not require the picture on their CYMS card.
