The Illinois Mandated Reporter Training has been fully redesigned to better reflect our DCFS mission: promoting the well-being of children, youth, and families by responding to reports of potential abuse and neglect and, when needed providing family-centered care and connection to resources. This new version goes beyond recognizing and reporting suspected abuse and neglect. It equips learners with tools to understand when a family needs support – not a report.
What’s new in the training?
• Guidance to help distinguish poverty from neglect.
• A focus on supporting families through early connections to services.
• Strategies for recognizing and addressing implicit bias.
• A trauma-informed approach to interacting with children and families.
• Clear, practical information about how and when to make a report.
