For those workshops held at the University please double check the University's operating status. If the State of Maryland is operating normally but the University of Maryland Baltimore is closed or has a delayed opening, the training at the University's campus will follow the University's schedule.

Attention CWA Participants! School of Social Work Check-in Proc ess

Please help keep our environment safe by complying with the SSW front desk security process. When you arrive at the SSW for a CWA training, please be sure to show your Maryland State ID to the security guard at the front desk. Although this may be a hassle, it is a requirement for anyone entering the building; even those who work in the building every day. If you do not have your Maryland State ID with you, you will be asked to stop, sign in and show another picture ID. The security guard may also call CWA to confirm that you are there to attend a training. Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Questions or concerns can be directed to the CWA Director, Jennifer Kelman, jkelman@ssw.umaryland.edu.

*Please note that a separate attendance policy applies to Pre-Service Training. Participants will receive notification of the policy with their registration confirmation notice.

Pre-Service Competency-Based

Training

Pre-Service Training is required by Maryland Law for new employees providing child welfare services. New staff should be registered for PreService Training as soon as possible after beginning employment and are expected to attend the Pre-Service cycle for which they have been registered. The training consists of topical areas referred to as modules.

Module Foundations of Practice I

Module Indicators and Dynamics of II Abuse and Neglect

Module Engaging Children and III Families

Module Conducting Family IV Centered Assessments

Module Planning with the Family V

Module Working Effectively with VI the Court

Process for Pre-Service Registration

So that pre-service needs are addressed in a timely fashion, new child welfare employees are registered for Pre-Service Training by local DSS Personnel Liaisons as soon as possible after beginning employment. In some cases, employees have been able to begin pre-service training within days of beginning their employment, resulting in trained staff being available more quickly to provide services to the families and children served by DHS. The Training Program will confirm enrollment and provide directions for registered trainees.

Pre-Service Training and Testing Accommodations

The Child Welfare Academy is committed to providing training to a diverse group of child welfare professionals. Included in this group are qualified staff that have impairments, functional limitations, and/or disabilities. DHS and the Academy wish to facilitate the training of such staff and make reasonable accommodations in order to promote learning and performance.

All staff who attend the Academy's Pre-Service Competency Training may submit requests for possible accommodations to the Examination Services Unit within the DHS to determine whether accommodations are appropriate, and to what extent they will be provided.

DHS will review accommodation requests and notify the Academy when supportive services are needed. The Department of Human Services and the Child Welfare Academy are committed to providing a training environment that enables all participants to be successful. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and to ensure accessibility to all staff, please contact your LDSS Personnel Liaison or DHS's Examination Services Unit if you have questions or are in need of any accommodations. The contact number for the Examinations Services Unit is 410-767-7414.
