MANDATED
CHILD ABUSE COURSE!
N.Y.S. Mandated Child Abuse and Maltreatment Training"
WEBINAR
Jennifer Hoover
Facilitator
The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA)
Synopsis: Studies conclude that professionals that have contact with children report only half of the incidents that may be abuse maltreatment/neglect (Research foundation, 2011). The reason for this low report rate was due to the confusion or misunderstanding about the laws and procedures and a lack of knowledge or awareness of warning signs. The study also found the professionals are often influenced by their professional beliefs, values, and past experiences (Research foundation, 2011). This prompted the state of New York to require mandated reporter training.
After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
- Effectively report child abuse or maltreatment/neglect to New York State Central Register (SCR) of Child Abuse and Maltreatment. The SCR is also referred to as the “Hotline.”
- Evaluate situations to determine the reasonable cause to suspect child abuse and maltreatment/neglect.
- Identify physical and behavioral indicators associated with child abuse and maltreatment/neglect.
- Describe legal frameworks for mandated reporters and the New York State Child Protective Services.
If You Were Unable to Attend the November 7th Webinar, Don't Forget to Register for This Mandated Course Being Offered Again on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 7:00 pm. NY State Mandate requires completion by April, 2025.

NYSDA Reaffirms Support of Fluoridating Community Water
On January 7, 2025 the New York State Dental Association released a video message reaffirming support for fluoridation of municipal water supplies and its continued use statewide. As noted in the release, this stance aligns with the longstanding position of the ADA and the broader healthcare community, which recognize the proven benefits of fluoridated water in preventing tooth decay and cavities as good oral health is the gateway for good overall health!
More than 75 years of extensive research as shown that, when used at recommended levels, fluoride is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay by approximately 25% while reducing dental costs by $38 dollars for each $1 invested.
