The public is invited to participate in a free training course that focuses on child abuse and neglect warning signs, the investigation process, and the laws surrounding it on August 9th from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
The goals are to create awareness in the community and to contribute to the protection of abuse & neglected children.
There are two types of training available.
- A shorter 3 hr. session from 9am-12pm – Typically what people from the public really want to know; Why the agency is or isn't intervening, what constitutes abuse and when someone should call in reports of suspected abuse.
- A more detailed 6 hr. session from 9am-4pm- Typically for day care providers and others who work with children on a regular basis.
All trainings are held at Marion County Children Services and are conducted by the Intake/Investigations Supervisor and/or Staff.
