Keeping Children Safe Child Abuse and Neglect Curriculum for Early Childhood Professionals Abused or neglected children can be found in any neighborhood, classroom, and child care program. Knowing the signs and behaviors associated with child maltreatment is important for professionals involved with children on a regular basis. Acting on that suspicion and making a report of child abuse may be the one thing that makes a critical difference in a child’s life Child care professionals share with parents the responsibility of keeping children safe, protected, and secure in an environment that nurtures healthy growth and development. Unlike parents, caregivers are recognized by the state as mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. The Keeping Children Safe curriculum was developed to strengthen the caregiver’s role in identifying, preventing, and where indicated, reporting child abuse and neglect.
The training includes techniques to give child-care providers the information they need to not only identify and understand child maltreatment, but to engage families regarding access to parent education, social connections, and concrete supports in their communities. Questions for discussion, ways to take action, and suggestions are all part of this experience. This curriculum has been designed to meet the training requirement for child abuse and neglect recognition and prevention as outlined in the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Licensing Rules with the addition of the language of the Strengthening Families Initiative. 6 SW CEU credits will be offered for completion of this full training. An ODJFS certificate good for 3 years will also be provided.
