Training

Covered Programs will require all Program Staff to complete the Illinois DCFS online training for mandated reporters. If, in your role as an employee, you have completed the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act training successfully, this satisfies the Minors on Campus Policy requirement, so long as the certificate of completion is submitted to the Office of Title IX or designated monitoring Lake Forest College office. It is the responsibility of program directors and supervisors to oversee compliance with these minimum training requirements. 

1. Training Expectations: Review the Minors on Campus Policy, Complete the DCFS Training, and Complete and Submit the DCFS Form to the appropriate Lake Forest College office.

2. Non-Lake Forest College Covered Programs. Program Staff working in non-Lake Forest College programs may not work with minors in a Covered Program until the director of the program certifies in writing to the Sponsoring Unit that all Program Staff have successfully completed training. The director must also agree that any future Program Staff will successfully complete training prior to working with minors in a Covered Program.
