Mandated Reporter Training
Every staff member, volunteer, and intern at Child Safe of Central Missouri, Inc. is a mandated reporter. We take this responsibility seriously. Each member of our team is required to take the mandated reporter training to ensure that proper steps are being taken. We offer free mandated reporter training to organizations and businesses. We invite you to reach out to us and we can set up a training and slide show, which is a two hour training class.
Darkness to Light has provided this information about "What is a Mandated Reporter?". All states designate certain professionals as mandated reporters – some states require all citizens to report. A mandated reporter is one who is required by law to report reasonable suspicions of abuse. Check your state mandatory reporting laws to determine if your profession is designated as a mandated reporter by visiting http://1.usa.gov/1UdFJDj . Regardless of the specific mandated reporter law, all adults should report suspected abuse to protect children.
