The University of Illinois System will implement the triennial training required under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) beginning in November 2024. All University of Illinois System employees are mandated reporters, are required to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and must complete triennial training, which will run from November 11, 2024 – January 17, 2025.
Employees will soon be notified of this training requirement and will receive completion reminders throughout the training period. New employees will continue to complete the required ANCRA training as part of the onboarding process.
