Course Overview

In California, the statistics are stark: 167,740 calls for suspected child abuse were made from April to August 2019 alone. With Assembly Bill 1963 in effect since January 1, 2021, businesses with any interaction with minors face new legal obligations. This comprehensive training covers the mandates under AB 1963, ensuring compliance and safeguarding employees from penalties and legal consequences.

Assembly Bill 1963 demands that certain individuals, known as mandated reporters, must promptly report observed or suspected child abuse to law enforcement or social agencies. Failure to fulfill this duty is not just a breach of ethics but also a punishable offense. This training elucidates who qualifies as a mandated reporter, their reporting responsibilities, and the consequences of non-compliance.

Furthermore, AB 1963 expands the scope of mandated reporters under the existing Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance and proactive reporting. Employers subject to AB 1963 are mandated to initiate this training promptly to ensure awareness and adherence to these critical legal requirements.
