More About Tune In For Child Safety

Part I can also be viewed on this web site—www.tuneinforchildsafety.org—or by using the DVD in the training kit. Part II will be conducted by the group child care center director. It consists of case studies and activities to be used for training group child care center staff about child abuse and maltreatment. This training will provide two hours of training for group child care center staff. Both parts must be completed to receive credit for the training.

View Part I of the training. First make copies of the affirmation statement page and give it to all participants. Next, participants will need to watch part one of the training. They can do this with a group or independently. During Part I there will be several audio codes, which will be heard. Participants need to write down these audio codes on their Affirmation of Training Compliance page and complete part one of the affirmation page. If these audio codes are not written on the affirmation, participants will not receive credit for this training. Also, the participant’s name and address should be printed clearly on the statement. Collect these affirmation forms, and register participants online. You should keep them on file as well. Directors will then come to the Tune In for Child Safety Training Web site to report participants who have completed part one of the training. Click “Director Log In/Report Trainees.”

Participants will then come to Part II of the training, which is led by the director. This Tune In for Child Safety training manual and accompanying DVD have many components that can be used to complete the next required hour of training. There are three long case studies, three short case studies and three activities. Each component has step-by-step instructions and times listed for each case study and activity, as well as an approximate training time allotted. Directions are listed in this training manual. You can choose which components to use to create an hour of training from the following:

One long case study and one activity session; or
Two short case studies.

Follow the step-by-step instructions in this training manual to lead the activities.

After participants complete Part II of the training the director will need to sign the Affirmation of Training, indicating the participants have successfully completed Part II of the training. Parts I and II must be completed within one month of each other to receive credit for the training.
