The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared a reminder that the deadline to complete the 2022 Student Independent and Group courses is February 28, 2025, as referenced in ODP Announcement 25-010. All student classes must be held in the 2024 Student Independent and Group courses after this date.

Also, please be reminded that the “Trainer Attestation of Qualification” and the “Complete to Access Acknowledgement of Qualification” activities serve as the ‘online’ signatures, replacing the physical signatures. The Trainer Attestation date is required for the User Report to be considered complete, and staff may not administer medication until that step is done. The date the Trainer Attestation was completed will be printed on student Acknowledgements of Qualification issued after January 2, 2025. For the Trainer Attestation date to show on the User Report, the Trainer must enter in the date in the feedback field.

Please view ODPANN 25-022 for additional information and details.

The Department of Human Services Office of Children, Youth and Families (OCYF) is supporting a specialized training effort addressing child abuse recognition as well as reporting training for residential facilities through a contract with the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA). This training is for child residential staff, their related purchasing entities, and local law enforcement agencies.

Register for an upcoming training:

Training Summary:

This training is for providers and other child serving entities. It will cover clarification on what allegations must be reported to ChildLine as suspected child abuse and/or HCSIS as a reportable incident, and further clarifies when an alternative plan of supervision must be put into place. This training also teaches minimal facts interviewing skills to better determine when to make a report and explains how those reports of suspected child abuse are categorized and handled at ChildLine. Lastly, internal follow-up recommendations and communication are discussed. Other entities that interact with these 3800 facilities are also welcome to attend, including OCYF Regional Office Reps, law enforcement, and MCOs.

This training mirrors the information outlined in the OCYF Bulletin # 3800-21-01 issued January 19, 2021, and is meant as additional training (not a replacement for the mandated reporter training).

Please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp or RCPA Policy Associate Emma Sharp with further questions.
