This course is designed to train mandated reporters in identifying and reporting child abuse and neglect. Effective January 1, 2021, California businesses with 5 or more employees who also employ any minors (i.e., employees under the age of 18) must provide compliant training to mandated reporters (AB 1963).
Mandated reporters include Human Resources employees who are authorized to receive complaints of misconduct on your company’s behalf, as well as any direct supervisor of minors. This training will apprise your employees of how to identify the various forms of child abuse and neglect, and how to satisfy their reporting obligation to authorities. Notably, failure to report may result in criminal penalties and even jail time.
This one-hour training will ensure that you satisfy your compliance obligation and that your employees engage in an interactive setting, which includes hypothetical questions and scenarios. Additionally, the law requires all mandated reporters to receive and sign specified notices of their obligations.
