This session will cover mandatory reporting, emphasizing the duty of mandated reporters to report known or suspected abuse or neglect concerning vulnerable populations like children, elders, or dependent adults. We will discuss the purpose of mandated reporting in ensuring the safety of these groups and preventing abuse, as well as various types of abuse that require mandatory reporting in compliance with federal and state laws. We will explore the professional ethics of reporting and the balance between confidentiality and the duty to report with practical examples in education and practice. Challenges and barriers to reporting, such as personal bias and cultural misunderstandings, will be addressed, along with the role of interdisciplinary collaboration. We will conclude with resources and support that are available for mandatory reporters. This webinar qualifies for ethics credit.
