Description:

There are many tools which support the important work of Child Passenger Safety Technicians. This workshop will be provided during the annual CPS Subcommittee Meeting to increase the use and knowledge of the LATCH manual and answer questions for effective increased use across the country. Each program which does not currently use the LATCH manual will receive a manual after the training/meeting. A $750 grant was secured through SafeKids to support the purchase of LATCH manuals.

LATCH Manual 101 includes an overview of the basic components of SRN’s LATCH Manual, an essential resource for child passenger safety advocates. This CEU presentation focuses on the types of information in the LATCH Manual, where it comes from and, most importantly, how to find it. 1-CPS CEU for recertification
