REPORT: Best Practice for Campus Professionals Responding to Child Abuse
As a child-serving professional, it’s not a question of IF you will encounter a child abuse situation but rather WHEN. This training is the result of collaboration with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, DCAC Chief of Investigations and DCAC Director of Education, offering practical guidance for professionals on how to best work with investigative parties in a way that protects the investigation, the organization, and most importantly, the child. Participants will leave with a robust reporting protocol and guidance for navigating these situations– before it is a problem.
