NSTRC does not have educational requirements for providers or coaches implementing SafeCare. NSTRC recommends that local implementing agencies train staff who have good communication and interpersonal skills and are comfortable delivering interventions to families in the home setting, responsive to coaching and constructive feedback, motivated to implement SafeCare with fidelity, open to new service models, and interested in using a structured protocol for service delivery. NSTRC can guide local implementing agencies in selecting appropriate candidates for each type of staff position. NSTRC requires that SafeCare providers, coaches, and trainers complete SafeCare trainings and receive certification (described under Pre-Service Staff Training).
