This is our Mandated Reporter Training for our leaders and volunteers who work with or serve children (minors 17 years old and younger) in the ministry.
This training course is based on the California Child Abuse Mandated Reporter Training (https://mandatedreporterca.com) for General and Clergy training. That training is free and we encourage you to check them out. Our training course is shorter and emphasizes mandated reporting for church leaders and volunteers.
If you take our Mandated Reporter Training and do not reside in California, please be aware that state laws vary on child abuse and neglect reporting and who is considered a mandated reporter.
