Policy Purpose
Mandated Reporters have an individual duty to report known or suspected abuse or neglect relating to children, elders, or dependent adults. Any employees whose positions are designated by the state of California as Mandated Reporters must understand what they are required to report, when it must be reported, and to whom. Summary information regarding the three categories of mandated reports is provided below.
The Protecting Minors Policy is a companion policy that details Mandated Reporters responsibilities specific to known or suspected abuse or neglect of minors as well as the management of university activities involving minors. Although Mandated Reporter obligations for reporting suspected child abuse and neglect are referenced in this policy, this policy does not supersede or alter any requirements set forth in the Protecting Minors Policy, which governs all Mandated Reporter requirements for reporting known or suspected child abuse and neglect.
