Mandated Reporter Requirement
All new foster parents must complete training on reporting maltreatment of minors and vulnerable adults. The two trainings below contain material created by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, the agency in charge of foster care in the state.
Reporting of Maltreatment of Minors in Minnesota

It addresses statutory requirements for reporting, categories of maltreatment that must be reported, the reporting process and information that may be asked of the reporter, and possible pathways for reports that are either screened in or screened out. |
Vulnerable Adults Mandated Training
