What constitutes the Child Abuse Awareness Training (CAAT)?

• A. Viewing the district's training video and completing the online CAAT Assessment.
• B. Signing a training acknowledgment only.
• C. Attending a live seminar only.
• D. Reading a policy memo.

Answer: (A)

Child Abuse Awareness Training is meant to ensure staff not only receive the information but also demonstrate understanding. The CAAT consists of two parts: watching the district’s training video and completing the online CAAT Assessment. The video provides the essential content about recognizing signs of abuse and the steps for reporting, while the online assessment verifies that you understood and can apply that information. This combination also creates an official completion record for compliance. Merely signing an acknowledgment, attending a live seminar, or reading a policy memo doesn’t meet CAAT by itself because they don’t guarantee you engaged with the video content or completed the knowledge check.
