On December, 2011, the Governor issued Executive Order #54 requiring all University of Wisconsin System employees to immediately report child abuse or neglect if the employee, in the course of employment, observes an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, learns of an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, or has reasonable cause to believe that child abuse or neglect will occur. Please refer to UW-Superior's Policy (attached above) on the Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect for specific responsibilities and reporting requirements.

UW-Superior has developed required training related to Executive Order 54 which all employees (including student and temporary employees) are required to complete. A target date for completion is April 30, 2013. In-person training sessions will be offered on March 6, 9:30am - 10:30 am and 2:30pm-3:30pm in YU 203 and again on March 7, 9:30am-10:30am and 2:30pm-3:30pm in YU 204. If you would like to attend one of these training sessions, please RSVP to hr-student hr-student Additional in-person training will be provided as necessary. All employees (including student employees, adjunct instructors, limited term employees(LTE), etc.) are welcome to attend.

For those unable to attend the scheduled in-person training, on-line training is provided at this site: http://www.uwsuper.edu/hr/forms/eo54.cfm . Directions are provided at the site and we anticipate the training to take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Once an employee has completed the training, the employee will  receive an automatic email  certificate confirmation of completion. Human Resources will receive the same email confirmation and your certificate will be placed in your personnel file.

Supervisors will be responsible for tracking employee completion of this requirement. As a reminder, the target date for completion is April 30, 2013. If you have any questions regarding this policy or required training, please feel free to contact me.
