To All CBAA Volunteers,

 

Recently we sent out information regarding the new PA Child Protection Laws that are now in effect. If you are a COACH, ASSISTANT COACH, or have direct contact with our players as an integral part of our program, you are now considered a mandatory reporter.   Below is a webinar that is being offered to provide you with more information on these new laws and what it means to you as a mandatory reporter.

 

CBAA is currently creating procedures to address the background checks that will be required as of July 1, 2015.  Once finalized, all volunteers requiring background checks will be identified and contacted as to how to proceed.  The regulatory agencies are also working quickly to provide the support that will be necessary over the next several months.  We will continue to provide you with information as it becomes available.

 

If you have any questions, please contract Michelle Obetz, Compliance & Safety Director, CBAA at [email protected].

Over the last year, Pennsylvania enacted significant new legal requirements related to how child abuse is defined, reported and investigated.  Adult volunteers have new responsibilities, including that they are now legally mandated to report suspected child abuse and undergo comprehensive criminal and child abuse background checks. 

 

Join us for an interactive webinar to sort through what has changed in PA law and what it means for volunteers.  The webinar is intended to provide practical guidance and real time answers to questions about what all these new legal changes mean. 

 

Ms. Palm and Ms. Mundy will help you make sense of the following: 

 

  • Volunteers' role as mandated reporters
  • Requirements as to when to report
  • Reporting process
  • Clearances/background checks requirements from both the perspective of the volunteer and the agency relying on volunteers
  • Training resources

There will be a facilitated opportunity for questions and answers.
