Child development and learning occurs when children are healthy and safe. This workshop will ensure that providers establish policies and procedures that protect children when abuse is suspected. Participants will also discuss and learn strategies to protect themselves in their roles as mandated reports. It is vital that providers are supported so that they may fulfill their role as mandated reporters. In this highly engaging workshop, participants will learn why individuals sometimes fail to report suspected abuse. Video vignettes and research will be presented to inform discussions around the development of strategies, policies, and procedures to ensure consistent reporting.
