New Iowa legislation has changed Mandatory Reporter training requirements. Starting July 1, 2024, all staff licensed by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners must complete training every three years for reporting both child abuse and dependent adult abuse. Details on the new law, HF 2404, are available on the Iowa Legislative website.
- Non-certified staff: Are still required to take the Child Abuse Mandatory Reporter training every three years.
- Certified staff: Certified staff should continue to take both the Child Abuse and Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory trainings to maintain their BOEE license.
- All staff: Please continue to send copies of completed mandatory trainings to the HR office.
Key Changes
- The one-hour recertification courses for Mandatory Reporter of Child Abuse and Mandatory Reporter of Dependent Adult Abuse are no longer available.
- Individuals whose Mandatory Reporter training is expiring or has expired must take the new training courses.
Current Enrollees
- Participants currently enrolled in Mandatory Reporter of Child Abuse or Dependent Adult Abuse training can continue to complete these courses to maintain their certification and meet current standards.
- New sign-ups will be directed to a STOP page linking to the updated version of the training. Paid participants should contact AEA Learning Online Support for transfer assistance.
