Reducing Racial and Ethnic Bias in Child Abuse Reporting

This seminar will strengthen the child abuse reporting skills of staff members and administrators in their work with families of color. This seminar will work toward that goal through a brief history of child protective services and its role in society, review of legal obligations and ethical standards related to child abuse reporting, examination of racial/ethnic disparities in the child welfare system, the role of culture in parenting practices, and assessment of how implicit and explicit bias may impact child abuse reporting decisions.
