General Pre-Service Training applies to which group?

• A. All licensed professionals
• B. All caregivers
• C. Only foster parents
• D. Only administrators

Answer: (B)

General Pre-Service Training is designed for the people who will directly care for children in placement—the caregivers. It provides foundational knowledge they need before a child comes into care, such as safety practices, basic caregiving skills, trauma-informed approaches, understanding children’s rights, confidentiality, agency policies, and mandatory reporting responsibilities. The goal is to ensure every caregiver starts with a common, solid baseline so the child’s needs are met consistently across placements. Licensed professionals and administrators have other training requirements tied to their roles, so this training specifically targets those who will be providing day-to-day care to the children.
