SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘National Child Protec-
tion Training Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Studies indicate that the majority of child 
protection professionals, including child protection 
workers, child protection attorneys, medical and 
mental health professionals, law enforcement offi-
cers, forensic interviewers, and other professionals 
who work directly with maltreated children, are in-
adequately prepared through undergraduate and 
graduate programs to recognize and respond to 
cases of child maltreatment. 
(2) Studies indicate that individuals mandated 
to report child maltreatment often fail to recognize 
instances of maltreatment, and that such failure to 
recognize maltreatment is attributable, in part, to 
inadequate training in undergraduate and graduate 
programs. 
(3) Child protection professionals often find it 
difficult to access quality training on investigating, 
or otherwise responding to, cases of child maltreat-
ment, and many programs, such as forensic inter-
view training programs, that require intensive train-
ing and small class sizes could reach more profes-
