Reporting Requirements for Children Served in Residential Care Facilities

<a href="" title="" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PA Family Support Alliance has created a training for provider's and other child serving entities that clarifies what allegations must be reported to ChildLine as suspected child abuse and/or HCSIS as a reportable incident, and further clarifies when an alternative plan of supervision must be put into place. This training also teaches minimal facts interviewing skills to better determine when to make a report, and then explains how those reports of suspected child abuse are categorized and handled at ChildLine. Lastly, internal follow up recommendations and communication are discussed.</a>This training mirrors the information outlined in the OCYF Bulletin # 3800-21-01 issued January 19, 2021, and is meant as additional training (not a replacement for the mandated reporter training).
