Organizations with mandated reporter training requirements can use the Mandated Reporter Training platform to streamline and organize their training programs.

If you have legislative requirements to train your employees, administrators, or volunteers, the Mandated Reporter Training platform is designed to simplify the process of training your mandatory reporters.

Schools, childcare centers, religious organizations, sporting organizations, and nationwide organizations with complex training requirements turn to the Mandated Reporter Training platform to meet training requirements.

Here are 7 reasons to train on the Mandated Reporter Training platform.

Easily Add and Organize Learners

The Mandated Reporter Training platform makes it easy to add and organize learners. When you launch an organization account, you will be guided through a step-by-step startup process and shown how to invite users to train under your organization.

The Mandated Reporter Training platform allows you to invite learners, like your employees, administrators, or volunteers, to train under your organization using various methods, so you can easily handle this task, whether you have five learners to train or 5,000.

The platform also allows you to organize your learners, which can be helpful when you have different groups of people with different training requirements, such as supervisory employees, non-supervisory employees, and volunteers.

Access and Assign State-Approved Training

The Mandated Reporter Training platform provides state-approved training for mandatory reporters across a growing number of states, including California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

For organizations in other states, a national general training can be assigned to help mandated reporters understand their roles and responsibilities to help protect against abuse, which includes resources to find state-specific reporting laws and hotlines.

In some states, profession-specific training is available. Profession-specific training can help your mandated reporters understand the specific roles and situations they’re more likely to experience as a medical professional, registered nurse, school personnel, childcare provider, law enforcement officer, or other profession.

You can assign these state-approved training courses to your learner groups using your organization dashboard. As new courses are added or your training needs change, you can easily add and assign new training.

Monitor Course Progression and Completion

Once your learners are associated with your organization account, you can easily keep track of their progress.

From your organization dashboard, you can get a snapshot of your training program, including who has accepted their invitation, which of your learners has completed their training, and who still has a course in progress.

Issue Certificates and Verify Completion

When one of your employees or organization members completes a training under your organization, they can get a verifiable certificate of completion that proves they took the training and passed an exam demonstrating their knowledge of the materials.

Each certificate of completion issued by the Mandated Reporter Training platform is recorded on the blockchain to ensure it can’t be faked, forged, altered, or duplicated.

Recording these certificates on the blockchain makes it virtually impossible for someone to tamper with a certificate. It also allows for instant verification from licensing boards, agencies, insurance providers, and any other authority that needs to verify and confirm the authenticity of a certificate.

If you have a new employee who recently took training, simply scan the QR code of their certificate to verify their training is complete and has not yet expired.

Access Training Reports for Compliance Verification

California’s AB 506 made volunteer training mandatory for organizations that offer youth services, including summer camps, for-profit children’s events and activities, recreational youth sports and swim, and non-profit youth services, including city programs, museums, science centers, and more.

California’s AB 506 also changed mandated reporting by tying insurance coverage to this requirement. That means a youth-serving organization in California could lose its insurance coverage if it doesn’t provide proof that all employees, administrators, and volunteers have completed their training.

If you need to submit proof to any agency or entity that your organization is meeting its training requirements, your organization account makes it easy to access reports.

Train in Multiple Languages

If your organization needs to train mandated reporters in different languages, you can find trainings in other languages in the catalog. Spanish language training is available for California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting training, as well as for a national Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting training. California is also adding select profession-specific trainings in additional languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese.

Approved CE Courses Available

Many educational organizations rely on the Mandated Reporter Training platform to provide training required for professional licenses and certifications to enrolled students.

In California, Mandated Reporter Training courses for Registered Nurses have been approved by the CA Board of Registered Nursing for continuing education credits.

In Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting trainings have been approved for initial licensure and license renewals for licensed professionals with Act 31 training requirements.
