Content includes the nature of the child welfare system in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the aspects of child abuse in Pennsylvania law, potential indicators of child abuse, the provisions and responsibilities for reporting suspected child abuse, and how to make appropriate referrals to the child welfare system. This course was updated in 2020 to include new information required due to changes in the law.
This course is specifically for PA licensees, and CEUs only apply to the state of PA. Please Note: Applicants for initial PA licensure should contact their licensing board for resources for the required 3-hour mandated reporter training.
