Common Core Training Requirements: Executive Summary and Recommendations: California Statewide Training and Education Committee

This document focuses on common core training recommendations for newly hired child welfare workers in the State of California. These recommendations have been developed in conjunction with core training recommendations for child welfare supervisors and ongoing training recommendations for workers and supervisors. Each set of recommendations builds upon California's existing training and training structures and is designed for statewide application. Together, the recommendations for common core, supervisor core and ongoing training requirements promote a collaborative and coordinated mission to improve the welfare of California's children and families affiliated with the Child Welfare Services Program.
