Identifying and Reporting Abuse of Children

This training is meant to teach mandated reporters how to recognize the signs of abuse in children, and how to make a suspected child abuse report. Participants will also learn to recognize the signs of abuse in other vulnerable populations, such as transition aged youth (TAY). Reporters will learn the prevalence of child abuse locally and nationally, and the history of child welfare in the United States. Mandated Reporter training is critical in supporting foster youth by ensuring that all individuals working with children are equipped to identify and respond to signs of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment. 

Please note: This training is exclusively available to employees of Redwood Community Services. It is not open to individuals outside the organization.
