The training is intended for individuals that are school personnel, childcare providers, medical professionals, mental and social health professionals, law enforcement, clergy and volunteers working with youth. Many child welfare professionals, regardless of their work environments, will most often encounter a case or situation concerning of child abuse or neglect. California’s specific regulations, policies and protocols for those who are mandated to report suspected child abuse and neglect will be addressed in the training. A wide range of issues pertaining to child abuse/neglect intervention, including identification, assessment, reporting, and case planning will be explored. Therefore, it is critical that staff be informed about the principles and strategies helpful in these areas in order to ethically and accurately meet their legal duty. Information included examples of abuse when a report would be warranted, how to complete a verbal and written report and strategies for supporting students and for their self-care when disclosures of abuse are made. This course will cover an overview of legislation, all categories of child abuse, and protocol for responding to suspected abuse.
