Educators are mandated reporters who are required by law to report any suspected child abuse or neglect. The document outlines the legal requirements for mandated reporters, including that failure to report can result in criminal charges and that reporters are legally protected from liability if reporting is done in good faith. It provides details on the reporting process, which involves filling out a form and submitting it to social services for review and investigation. Contact information is given for local social services departments and a link is provided for online mandated reporter training.
