The University of Central Florida today is to begin training investigators who look into cases of child abuse and neglect.

UCF received a $1.3 million, four-year contract from the Florida Department of Children and Families to develop a program for child protective workers and then train them. It is expected that some 200 people — both new employees and those seeking re-certification — will go through UCF’s new program, the university said.

Training sessions begin today at UCF’s Cocoa campus but will also be offered in Orlando.

The sessions will be for workers in Brevard, Orange and Osceola counties.
