Overview
All states designate certain professionals as mandated reporters. Some states even require that all citizens report. Those of us in the helping professions are amongst those that are mandated reporters of child and elder abuse. Many of us also have a requirement to complete mandatory reporting training that is approved by our state or licensing boards, but do you ever get through that and still have many questions? Have you ever had a case where you were not sure if it should be reported? Have you ever wondered how much or how little information you need? Lastly, have you ever made a report and wondered why there was no investigation? This event will dive deeper into case scenarios using federal and a variety of state guidelines, so all participants leave feeling confident about reporting child and elder abuse.

By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:

• Summarize federal reporting requirements for child and elder abuse
• Identify your own state’s reporting requirements for child and elder abuse
• Describe the ethical obligations of mandatory reporting
• List the different types of abuse and their legal definitions for child and elder abuse
• Give examples of when to report abuse and when to not report abuse
