| Description: | Investigating an allegation of adult or child abuse requires close personal contact with individuals who might not welcome our visit. In-home visits may feel intrusive to some and SRS staff don’t always know ahead of time which homes pose the greatest risks. We have been proactive in providing training for SRS staff in keeping themselves safe and in handling the secondary trauma of protective services work. SB 31 would require that workers receive six hours of safety training prior to the first renewal of their
social work license and offers an opportunity to address the very real problem of worker safety. |
