" . . . In the past, the child abuse training was a condition of employment only. Licensed school employees were the only population required by code to take the child abuse training. Below are listed the changes in the new law."

The training now requires training in child abuse as well as dependent adult abuse.  The child and dependent adult abuse training received by educators must be approved by the abuse education panel established by the Department of Public Health (DPH).  The training is still a condition of employment in the fact that all individuals with a license, authorization or certificate from the Board of Education Examiners (BOEE) must receive the child and dependent abuse training within 6 months of their employment.  The training is also now a condition of licensure renewal.  Effective September 1, 2002, all applicants renewing a license, authorization (this includes coaches), or paraeducator certificate must submit documentation of completion of the child and dependent adult abuse training approved by the state abuse education review panel.

AEA 13, in partnership with Heartland AEA 11, has made available an on-line training program for all employees within the AEA 13 school districts.  The on-line training program includes the required component for dependent adult abuse, as well as child abuse.
