Description:
Sometimes, child abuse or neglect is obvious, and you don’t even hesitate before calling CPS or law enforcement. Unfortunately, most of your obligations as a mandated reporter live in that horrible grey area. Is what your patient reports even something that could trigger obligations to report? Do you have reasonable suspicion that child abuse or neglect may have occurred? What is reasonable suspicion? Have you ever found yourself asking these types of questions? If so, this three-hour workshop will provide attendees with an overview of those obligations outlined in California’s Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) to be more confident when presented with potential reporting issues.
Learning Objectives:
-
Identify the categories of child abuse and neglect under California’s Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act
-
Identify the three entities a mandated reporter is permitted to report to
-
Distinguish between those reporting obligations that are mandated versus permissive
-
State the amount of time a mandated reporter has to make an initial verbal report and the subsequent written report
