Prerequisites for each session: Participants must have completed ICMEC Level I or CIS Foundations within the last 3 years to earn a certificate. 

Audience for each session: Level II workshops are geared toward child protection team members. We recommend school child protection teams work together to choose different training for members based on their role at the school, role on the team, and interest so that the team represents a range of expertise. Child protection teams may be comprised of child protection designates and deputies, senior leaders, designated board members, counselors, HR professionals, athletic and activity directors, medical staff, and legal advisors. Other staff with special child protection responsibilities in areas that include IT, social emotional learning (SEL), trips and service learning, and curriculum areas of vulnerability like early years, special needs, athletics, music, and performing arts may also attend relevant Level II workshops.
