Ensuring Compliance with Regulatory Requirements

As part of the Division’s commitment to Teach, Learn and Collaborate, the WI Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Center for Community Development, Engagement and Training (UWO CCDET) are here to help you meet your training needs.

Developed by UWO CCDET in collaboration with DQA, these virtual, interactive workshops are designed to help you meet regulatory requirements for caregiver background checks, staff training, and continuing education in DQA-regulated provider settings. To ensure these workshops are both affordable and accessible, they are partially subsidized by DQA. See below for more details and register for these May workshops today!
