MANDATED REPORTED TRAINING

CALIFORNA SEXUAL ABUSE LEGISLATION

Though all Youth Service Organizations have been required to take reasonable steps to address the known risk of child sexual abuse in the past, AB506 provides Standard of Care refinement and definition. All Youth Service Organizations in California should have an effective Safety System currently in place, requiring (1) training, (2) background checks and (3) policies: AB506 promulgates specific requirements related to each of these Safety System elements.

While there are many who are required mandated reporters, among them are volunteers in religious organizations who are in direct supervision of children.
