Educating the Professional
& the Community – Keeping Our Children Safe
Since its founding in 1979, educating the child victim services professional
and the general public has been an important and integral part of
CCAN’s mission to fight child abuse and neglect.
CCAN’s Training Institute offers programs delivered by acknowledged
experts for human service professionals, ensuring that their skills
are being refreshed and maximized. They include:
- Training educators on identification and reporting child abuse
and neglect
- Keeping Schools Safe Program
- Ongoing consultation and support regarding all aspects of child
abuse and neglect reporting
- Also, once a month, CCAN offers training, at our Garden City
offices, for mandated reporters of child abuse as required by
New York State law. (Similar trainings are offered for non-mandated
reporters as well.)
Through Project VOICE (Volunteers Offering Information and Community
Education), CCAN’s speaker’s bureau outreach effort, representatives
of CCAN and specially trained educators carry the anti-child abuse
message directly to community, civic, fraternal groups, etc.. Programs
topics offered to the community, which by special arrangement can
include law enforcement presenters, cover the following areas:
- How to protect your child; as a parent and as a community member
- How to protect your child from sexual predators
- Internet Safety
- Megan’s Law—the Sex Offender Registry Act
- Specific training programs for children includes Safe Body©/Abuse
Prevention
CCAN has taken the lead in educating the community on all child abuse
issues, especially how to protect children and on Internet safety,
as well as keeping our peers up-to-date on the latest developments
and techniques in our field.
