A Guide for Mandated Reporters: Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse

Recorded On: 11/17/2022

Mandated reporting is an integral part of teaching. Ensuring the safety of your students is not only essential but is also mandated by law. However, it can be hard to make that call. The Green Bear Project is here to help! The Green Bear Project’s Mandated Reporter class will instruct future teachers on the 4 types of abuse, signs, and symptoms of abuse, and how to respond to the abuse.

This class will help you feel more confident in the reporting process, showing you how to

  • Identify signs and symptoms of child abuse,
  • Respond to disclosures,
  • Report suspected child abuse, 
  • And understand the multidisciplinary team approach when working with survivors.
