New training rules for child protection workers

New York's Office of Children and Family Services must set minimum training requirements for child protective services workers. Its rules must cover when to intervene, close cases, start child protection proceedings, and develop treatment plans. They must also define child protective services and set standards for delivering them. These rules also cover Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children under local contracts to investigate abuse or maltreatment reports. The agency must set standards for court-ordered family monitoring and supervision, including required court notices from local child protective services. Workers on designated multidisciplinary investigative teams must receive training in sexual-abuse investigations and ongoing training. These requirements take effect with the 2025 police sexual-assault training law.

Police sexual assault training starts later

The law delays required police officer training on crimes involving sexual assaults. The 2025 training act takes effect one year after it becomes law, instead of 90 days after. No calendar start date is specified.
