Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting Training is a requirement in Pennsylvania for all school employees who have direct contact with children. In this Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA) 3 hour training session, we will review the elements of child abuse, including the legal definitions and categories, and indicators of abuse. The training provides an overview of mandated reporting obligations, including how to make a report, protections for those who report, and liabilities for failing to report. This training is approved by the PA Department of Education, PA Department of Human Services, and State Acts 126 & 31.
