Mandated Reporter Training of the Trainer
PCA Georgia’s Mandated Reporting TOT is a comprehensive training session for professionals who have a need to train others on the responsibilities of a mandated reporter. Many mandated reporters understand the importance of reporting and preventing child maltreatment, but may feel they do not have the knowledge to do so. This training is designed to provide participants with the information needed to recognize, report and prevent child maltreatment.
PCA Georgia hosts semi-regular Mandated Reporter Training of the Trainers or your organization can request a TOT by contacting [email protected].
