Synopsis:  The New York State Department of Education, due to recent amendments to Social Services Law 413, is requiring the addition of "Adverse Childhood Experiences and Trauma, Implicit Bias, and Identification of Child Abuse virtually" to its mandated Child Abuse Training Course. Due to these amendments, ALL dentists are required to take this course in order to meet the once-in-a-lifetime mandate for dental licensing.

Studies conclude that professionals that have contact with children report only half of the incidents that may be abuse maltreatment/neglect (Research foundation, 2011). The reason for this low report rate was due to the confusion or misunderstanding about the laws and procedures and a lack of knowledge or awareness of warning signs. The study also found the professionals are often influenced by their professional beliefs, values, and past experiences (Research foundation, 2011). This prompted the state of New York to require mandated reporter training.

After completing this course, the learner will be able to:

1)  Effectively report child abuse or maltreatment/neglect to New York State Central Register (SCR) of Child Abuse and Maltreatment. The SCR is also referred to as the "Hotline."

2)  Evaluate situations to determine the reasonable cause to suspect child abuse and maltreatment/neglect, whether in person or virtually.

3)  Identify physical and behavioral indicators associated with child abuse and maltreatment/neglect, whether in person or virtually.

4)  Describe legal frameworks for mandated reporters and the New York State Child Protective Services.
