Mandated Reporting. CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to annually train all staff members, including volunteers, so that they are familiar with and agree to adhere to its own child and dependent adult abuse reporting obligations and procedures as specified in California Penal Code section 11164, et seq., and maintain documentation of such trainings. To protect the privacy rights of all parties involved (i.e., reporter, child and alleged abuser), reports will remain confidential as required by law and professional ethical mandates.

Mandated Reporting. The Family Resource Center staff are, by law, mandated reporters, and as such will report a child’s disclosure of abuse or a suspicion of abuse to the Department of Children and Families. It is not the responsibility of the FRC staff to investigate the accuracy of the disclosure or suspicion. Gift Giving In developing the Family Resource Center’s gift-giving policy, for supervised parenting time, the following issues are considered: • The potential for manipulation of the child by the parent through gift-giving; • The potential for the gift to create a trigger that reminds the child of prior abuse; • The opportunity for the parent/visitor to use the gift as a means to communicate with the other parent, contrary to court order; • The socio-economic constraints of some parents, and the possible embarrassment a child may feel when seeing other children receive gifts at visits; • The potential for other families to feel as though they must compete with the gifts; • The need to treat all program participants fairly; • The fact that, in dependency out-of-home cases, parents are often encouraged to bring toys, clothes, food, etc. to visits with their child(ren); • The “normal” expectation of a child to receive a gift on or around his/her birthday, or certain holidays; • The degree to which (if at all), food brought to the visit is to be considered a gift; • The degree to which (if at all), money, gift cards, or items such as diapers and formula are to be considered gifts, when provided by the parent/visitor for the benefit, care, and/or maintenance of the child. The Family Resource Center permits gift-giving with the following minimum provisions: • For the safety of children and other individuals present at the supervised parenting time, all gifts brought for the child must be unwrapped or in a gift bag to allow for staff inspection prior to the visit; • Any items brought to the supervised parenting time session but not permitted in the visitation room will be secured and returned to the parent/visitor at the conclusion of the visit; • The Executive Director (or designated staff person) has the authority to prohibit the giving of a gift in any situation where it appears that the gift may be inappropriate, potentially harmful, or disturbing to the child or non-supervised parent. The gift giving policy also includes the following minimum provisions in cases involving allegations (or known issues) of domestic violence and/or sexual abuse: • FRC staff will require th...
