Child Abuse and Maltreatment Under the CPSL, certain persons licensed by the Department of State and employees with direct contact with children of entities regulated by the Department of Human Services (DHS) (formerly the Department of Public Welfare) that serve children are required to undergo CPSL training. As EMS providers are certified by the Department of Health, they do not fall under this requirement. However, the Department of Health is contemplating making CPSL training a requirement for all EMS providers as part of their continuing education requirements. In the interim, all EMS agencies and EMS providers are encouraged to take training courses to fully understand their responsibilities as mandated reporters. It is not a valid excuse for an EMS agency or an EMS provider to fail to follow the requirements of the CPSL due to a failure to take training courses, regardless of whether the training is mandatory.	2	2 years
