Congratulations to Jason Dickinson, Nicole Lytle, the Robert D. McCormick Center for Child Advocacy and Policy, and the Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy on the creation of a training website developed with funding from the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF).<\/p>\n
The site, titled a Web-Based Training for Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect, is designed to serve as a training resource for New Jersey teachers, daycare operators, and their staff. For students, it’s a valuable learning tool for those who go on to work in education and child service settings. It’s also a resource for state residents, since all New Jersey residents are mandated reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect.<\/p>\n
“This project will have a significant impact on such an important demographic of our state \u2014 our children \u2014 and the many professionals who serve and support them,” said Dean Robert S. Friedman.<\/p>\n
The training features information from area professionals as well as experts from Montclair State including Anthony D\u2019Urso<\/a>, from the Department of Psychology<\/a>, and Joseph Del Russo<\/a>, from the Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy. Other experts include Gladibel Medina of the Dorothy B. Hersh Regional Child Protection Center at St. Peter\u2019s University Hospital; Carolyn DeVito and Susan Bryant-Gaither of Montclair Community Pre-K; and Thomas Farrell of the NJ Child Abuse Hotline.<\/p>\n The site covers topics including mandated reporting, behaviors that constitute abuse and neglect, reporting reasonable suspicion, and what to expect when reporting.<\/p>\n Individuals must register to use the site, take a quiz after each module, and then they can receive a certificate of completion. The training can be completed using a mobile device.
