New Option for Mandated Reporter Training
We’re excited to share that GSUSA has created a Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Course that complies with California State Law AB506 requirements. This course is now part of the 634 Mandated Reporter training, giving volunteers the option to complete this new training or continue to submit proof of training from work or another volunteer role. Please note: GSHCC manually reviews acknowledgment forms and uploaded certificates, so the courses won't show as 100% complete until the review is finished. Remember, this training must be completed every two years.
