Signs of Abuse and South Carolina Mandated Reporting Workshop

This training workshop will provide participants with practical knowledge to recognize common physical. emotional. sexual. and behavioral signs of abuse and neglect in children, adolescents and vulnerable adults. Participants will learn about the responsibilities of a South Carolina mandated reporter, including when and how to make a report, documentation considerations and strategies for responding appropriately when abuse or neglect is suspected. The workshop will emphasize early identification, professional responsibility and child/adult safety while providing participants with some practical examples and guidance for navigating challenging situations.

Participants who complete the full two-hour training will receive a Certificate of Completion from Stacey Olson, LISW-CP as a training representative of the South Carolina Children's Law Center. This training certificate can be placed on your resume or CV to highlight your knowledge in recognizing signs of abuse and understanding of the South Carolina Mandated Reporting guidelines/laws.
