Workshop Description
Many professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment. However, the legal requirement to report is often confusing to navigate alongside other professional and ethical responsibilities. This workshop provides profession-based context to the role of mandated reporter, where professionals are charged with knowing how to support their clients and when they are required to report a concern to child protective services. Participants will learn a framework to guide this decision using research findings and practical advice based on real case examples.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain considerations for determining when making a report to child protective services is required by law.
- Identify the ethical, moral, and legal conundrums faced when making the decision to report.
- Apply a framework to guide the process for deciding whether to make a report.
- Describe their legal and ethical obligation to support families and children, regardless of their decision whether or not to report to child protective services.
- Explain how to adjust their considerations when working with clients with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.
