The Diocese of San Bernardino is now offering The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Law (Mandated Reporter) Training on this website. This training will meet Diocesan requirements for clergy, employees, and other volunteers who work regularly with children, including but not limited to catechists, coaches, youth ministers, youth choir directors, etc.  Please note that this training is only required for youth leaders or catechists who are 18 or older. Others who volunteer within the Diocese are welcome and strongly encouraged to take the training, even if it is not required for you to volunteer.

The training follows the text of the State of California Department of Social Services Document "The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Law Issues and Answers for Mandated Reporters."

We have modified the format of the document so it is more readable.
