What you can do about child abuse in Oregon.
A child care providers guide to recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect.
As an individual in contact with children on a regular basis, you will have an abiding interest in their safety and welfare. Not all abuse is the same. This training will help you understand what child abuse is and is not, your responsibility and exposure as a mandatory reporter, how and when it should be reported, and what it happens once a report is made. It is also a required training for educators and other professionals, including child care providers, to maintain state licensing.
