DCYF has recently updated its Mandatory Reporter training to highlight the difference between families in need of support versus child abuse and neglect, and the importance of connecting those families to resources.
The updated training includes:
- Distinctions between poverty and neglect and available resources that mandatory reporters can use to help families
- Modules that address bias with the opportunity to learn how biases contribute to systemic racism
- Videos highlighting the impact of child abuse and neglect reports
- Knowledge checks that allow mandatory reporters to practice complex, real-life scenarios in a no-risk environment
