Virtual Mandated Reporter Training

As the lead council in Cobb County for Positive Childhood Alliance (PCA) Georgia, Cobb Collaborative offers a monthly Virtual Mandated Reporter Training.

Child-serving professionals and volunteers may encounter situations where they suspect child abuse or receive a disclosure from a child. Yet fear of reporting, uncertainty about the signs of maltreatment, and unclear organizational policies can create barriers to making a report.

This training equips participants with the knowledge and confidence needed to fulfill their legal responsibilities.

During a Mandated Reporter Training, participants will:

• Understand Georgia’s laws and requirements for mandated reporters.
• Learn how to respond when a child discloses abuse.
• Clarify the mandated reporter’s role in reporting suspected maltreatment.
• Identify physical and behavioral indicators of the recognized types of abuse and neglect in Georgia.
• Recognize groups of children who may be at higher risk.
• Review the steps necessary to make a report of suspected abuse or neglect.

Who is this event for: This training is for child-serving professionals, volunteers, and community members seeking an introduction to Georgia’s mandated reporting requirements and the signs of child abuse and neglect.
