ABSTRACT

This brief report summarizes Adult Protective Services training provided to workers across the nation, using survey results from the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA). Although most states delivered training that covered some learning objectives of NAPSA’s 23 core competency training modules, there was a wide variation with some states training workers on all 23 topics, while some states did not provide training on any of the core modules. Having a well-trained APS workforce possessing core competencies to perform the job should be federal and state agencies’ goal, because the quality and level of services for older people and people with disabilities should not differ based on the states they live in.

摘要

这份简短的报告使用全国成人保护服务协会 (NAPSA) 的调查结果总结了为全国工人提供的成人保护服务培训。尽管大多数州提供的培训涵盖了 NAPSA 23 个核心能力培训模块的某些学习目标，但一些州对所有 23 个主题的培训工作人员存在很大差异，而一些州则没有提供任何核心模块的培训。拥有一支训练有素、具备执行工作核心能力的 APS 劳动力应该是联邦和州机构的目标，因为老年人和残疾人的服务质量和水平不应因他们居住的州而异。
