Child Abuse and Neglect Training Program: Final Report.
Buckner, Jamie; And Others
This report concerns a pilot child abuse and neglect training project operated from mid-February through June 1984 by a regional resource center and six school districts in rural Alaska. The stated objectives of the program were: (1) to identify individuals in rural service committees to serve as child abuse and neglect network members; (2) to identify agencies qualified to provide child protection, prevention, and treatment services; (3) to strengthen networks among service agencies; (4) to coordinate, develop, and implement a training plan; (5) to establish and strengthen networks between community providers and itinerant service provider agencies in order to facilitate referral and monitoring; and (6) to establish a continuous procedure for networking and training. The four sequential phases of the program were outreach, organization, networking, and training. The three parts of the report consist of an overview of the project, an internal evaluation and a summary section containing conclusions about the project's effectiveness and implementation as well as recommendations for others undertaking similar projects. Appendices, which make up over half of the document, include survey forms, citizen and conference participant comments, and ranking of training needs. (ABL)
