Phase II
Objectives (2025 - 2027)
Conduct Knowledge Assessments
Administer pre- and post-training evaluations to gauge school staff’s understanding and ability to apply child abuse reporting procedures effectively.
Provide On-Site Training
Deliver practical, hands-on sessions to strengthen individual skills and collective expertise in recognizing and reporting child abuse.
Enhance the National Online Reporting Assistant (NORA)
Enhance NORA’s functionality to generate “review-ready” reports, streamlining the process for child safety professionals to review and make decisions.
Validate NORA for Reporting
Ensure NORA is ready to serve as a key platform for schools to efficiently report non-urgent child abuse and neglect concerns through development and controlled testing.
Foster Collaboration with State and Local Agencies
Build partnerships with child welfare agencies to align training content and NORA’s functionality with their operational needs.
Develop Follow-Up Support Resources
Provide accessible resources (e.g., FAQs, video tutorials) and facilitate on-site visits by retired CPS Works to offer real-time guidance and support for school staff post-training.
Measure and Communicate Impact
Establish clear metrics to track the success of training and NORA adoption, and regularly report these results to stakeholders to maintain engagement and transparency.
Integrate Feedback Mechanisms
Implement a system for collecting ongoing feedback from school staff and child safety professionals to refine training and improve NORA’s usability.
Address Accessibility and Inclusivity
Ensure that NORA and training materials are accessible to diverse populations, including multi-language options and support for individuals with disabilities.
