Mandated Reporting

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.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has amended Section 413 of the Social Services Law to require training on recognizing abuse or neglect in children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. As a result, all mandated reporters are now required to complete an updated training workshop by November 17, 2026. This training meets the updated New York State standards.

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