This 4-hour course focuses on expanding your knowledge and skill in engaging families in the Shared Planning Meeting process. A cursory overview of the basic requirements of the Shared Planning Meeting policy is followed by an exploration of implicit bias in child welfare practice and strategies to promote engagement and decrease bias. You will practice your case presentation during a mock shared planning meeting that includes articulating safety threats and family strengths. Lastly you will articulate a case plan that addresses identified safety threats from a case scenario and identify ways to support family systems.

Mandatory reporters play a key role in ensuring the safety of vulnerable children. These professionals are obligated to report concerns about abuse or neglect, and this eLearning will guide you as mandated reporter through the process of identifying and documenting those concerns.
This training breaks the process down into three parts: Recognize, Record and Report. Through the training, you will understand what indicators of abuse to look for; how to appropriately record and what information to have; and what happens when a report is filed.
You will consider the impact of biases on reporting possible child abuse and neglect, and learn about the problem of racial disproportionality in our state’s child welfare system. The training also covers the federal requirement of identification of Indian heritage and affiliation with federally recognized tribes.
At the conclusion of the training, you will feel confident in understanding your role in keeping children safe.
