Q: For onboarding and training new staff, does the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) have existing Policy Documentation and Training materials that counties can leverage for trainings?

A: For Child Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS) training, Counties can utilize their Regional Training Academy (RTA) for various on-boarding training materials. In addition, the State shares policies and guidance to Counties and Tribes via Division 31 Regulations and current All County Letters (ACLs) and All County Information Notices (ACINs).
