REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. All educational support employees acknowledge that they are mandated reporters under the Abused and Neglected Child Care Reporting Act, 325 ILCS 5/1 et seq.

REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. 1. If an outcry or new information or an incident of child abuse or neglect is conveyed to the CASA volunteer, that new information must be reported immediately to CPS Intake.

All efforts shall be made to share information so that adoption may be accomplished as expeditiously as possible. Recognizing this:
REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. Policy JHG Any teacher or other school employee who suspects that a child under 18 years of age has been neglected or physically abused (including sexual or emotional abuse) by a parent or other person, will report orally or in writing this information to the building principal or superintendent. The principal or superintendent should immediately report this information to the state's attorney; or the department of social services; or the county sheriff; or the city police. If the principal or superintendent does not confirm to the teacher or other employee within 24 hours that action has been initiated, the employee will report this information directly to the proper authorities. The report will contain the following information: name, address, and age of child; name and address of parent or caretaker; nature and extent of injuries or description of neglect; and any other information that might help establish the cause of injuries or condition. School employees, including administrators, will not contact the child's family or any other persons to determine the cause of the suspected abuse or neglect. It is not the responsibility of the school employees to prove that the child has been abused or neglected, or to determine whether the child is in need of protection, but only to report suspicions of abuse or neglect. Anyone who participates in making a report in accordance with the law and in good faith is immune from any civil or criminal liability that may otherwise arise from the reporting, or from any resulting judicial proceeding, even if the suspicion is proved to be unfounded. Any personal interview or physical inspection of the child should be conducted in a considerate, professional manner. Information or records concerning reports of suspected abuse or neglect are confidential. Failure to make a report where abuse or neglect is suspected is subject to the same punishment. Copies of this policy will be distributed by the superintendent to all school employees at the beginning of each school term, and to new employees when they begin employment if at a different time than the beginning of the school term.

REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. If anyone involved in church activities suspects child abuse at Xxxxxx Chapel United Methodist Church the following procedures shall be followed in accordance with the Code of Virginia:
REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. In accord with diocesan policy and California law, school personnel are obligated under penalty of fine and jail term to report the reasonable suspicion of physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional deprivation, physical neglect, inadequate supervision, or sexual abuse and exploitation. In this very serious and legally narrow area, the school will not contact parents in advance of making a report to legal authorities although this would be the procedure followed in most other legal matters. The clear intent of the law, based on the seriousness of the crimes listed above, is to mandate that a report of reasonable suspicion of abuse be made. School personnel will make such reports in the best interest of the affected child and do not, once reasonable suspicion is established, have any legal alternative except to make the report to the proper authorities for their investigation and review.
REPORTING CHILD ABUSE. Teacher Candidates who, when acting in the scope of their Clinical Field Experience, develop a reasonable belief that a minor has been or is the victim of child abuse (e.g., non- accidental injury, sexual abuse, or neglect) must immediately report or cause a report to be made to a police officer or Child Protective Services. A report may be made by telephone or in person and must be followed by a written report within 36 hours or sooner as directed by local and state laws. For additional information, I will seek out and carefully review the policies and protocols for reporting child abuse outlined by the district in which I complete my Clinical Field Experience.
