Understanding Child Abuse & Neglect

In this online course students analyze the causes and dynamics of child maltreatment through an anti-oppressive lens. Indicators of child abuse, disclosure and effective responses along with the educator's legal responsibilities as a mandatory reporter are examined. Students will simulate a report to child protection as part of their evaluation and reflect on their own well-being throughout the course and as a future educator by creating a self-care plan.
