Description:
Although elder and dependent adult reporting is one of the most common legal issues therapists navigate in practice, it tends to receive much less focus than child abuse reporting. This workshop will provide a detailed overview of the mandated reporting procedures outlined in California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act, including the different types of reportable elder and dependent adult abuse, the types of California agencies that receive mandated elder and dependent adult abuse reports, and how much time mandated reporters have to make these reports.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Participants will be able to identify the six categories of elder and dependent adult abuse California mandated reporters are required to report.
- Participants will be able to identify the specific California agencies that are authorized to receive mandated elder and dependent adult abuse reports.
- In applicable circumstances, participants will be able to distinguish the amount of time California mandated reporters have to make initial phone reports of elder and dependent adult abuse vs. written follow-up reports regarding elder and dependent adult abuse.
- Participants will be able to state which forms of elder and dependent adult abuse are optional (as opposed to mandated) for mandated reporters to report, under the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act.
- Distinguish between those reporting obligations that are mandated versus permissive
