Florida Statute 3.001 requires a state university administrator, upon receiving direct knowledge or information from another institution employee, to report known or suspected child abuse, neglect or abandonment (including physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse) that occurred on university property or at a university-sponsored event directly to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). According to this policy, children are defined as individuals (including students and others) under 18 years of age. This training is mandatory for employees serving in the affected administrative positions. This course will provide training to guide administrators on defining child abuse, recognizing signs of abuse, discussing how to report and the penalties for failure to report and the process on how to report child abuse.
