About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Description: Children often choose to disclose to an adult they trust and feel safe with. If we are that trusted adult, what do we do next? How we respond after a child’s disclosure profoundly impacts the child and any potential criminal case that may follow. It is crucial we know what questions to ask and when to stop.


Objectives:

  • Understand the importance and purpose of minimal facts interviewing
  • Develop knowledge of Nebraska’s mandatory reporting laws
  • Prepare to make a report to law enforcement and/or DHHS
  • Learn how to support the reporter during and after reporting


Audience: This training is ideal for adults who may be the first point of contact when a child discloses abuse, including teachers, school staff, social workers, medical professionals, caregivers, and other mandatory reporters.
