About the Event

Many professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment. However, the legal requirement to report is often confusing to navigate in relation to our 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. Mandated reporters will learn a framework to guide the decision to make this “tough call” using research findings and practical advice based on real case examples.

This training meets the updated 2023 New York State standards for training in the identification and reporting of suspected child maltreatment.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
