FCCS offers training for professionals who are mandated to report abuse or neglect at its 855 W. Mound St. office each quarter. Some professionals are mandated by law to report child abuse and neglect. These mandated reporters include teachers, daycare staff, social workers, school personnel, physicians, dentists, nurses, psychologists, coroners, and attorneys.
The two-hour virtual training, which is held via Microsoft Teams, covers how to make a referral, what will happen after the referral is made, and what services are available to children and families. Training certificates of completion (no licensure) will be provided to those who attend the entire session.
