Identification and Reporting of Child Abuse and Maltreatment

We are approved by the New York Department of Education and offer the Identification and Reporting of Child Abuse and Maltreatment training required for mandated reports of child abuse and maltreatment.

Is It for Me?

Applicants for licensure as chiropractors, dental hygienists, dentists, optometrists, physicians, podiatrists, psychologists and registered nurses, or for limited permits in the professions of dentistry, medicine, podiatry, psychology and registered professional nursing, or as school administrators, supervisors, school service personnel, classroom schoolteachers, licensed clinical social workers, licensed master social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, creative arts therapists and psychoanalysts must complete coursework or training regarding the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment.

If you graduated from a program registered by New York State that leads to licensure or certification in one of the above areas (other than medicine) after September 1, 1990, you are not required to take additional training or to submit documentation. However, physicians and those who have completed medical residency programs may be required.
