The mandatory reporter training will equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to fulfill their legal and ethical obligations as mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. The training is based on the latest research and best practices with proven successful outcomes. The goal of the training is to increase the likelihood that mandated reporters make a report of suspected incidents of child abuse to child protective services or law enforcement. These includes incidents of serious physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or exploitation, imminent risk or serious physical neglect. “It is vital that mandated reporters stay up to date on their training, since it provides the skills needed to safeguard children,” said Jamie Pfister, NOVA Training Coordinator. “We encourage all mandated reporters in Bucks County to sign up for this training.” In addition to offering the mandated reporter training, NOVA facilitates workshops for places of worship, parent groups, organizations or schools.
