We were required to completed an online Mandated Reporter Training, and I chose to use the website that is available for California residents. This training summarized in a short sentence is: if I suspect abuse, report it. While I can definitely check in with a supervisor, it is my responsibility to make sure what I witness or what is disclosed to me is reported in a timely manner. The training helped me recognize various types of abuse, who to contact, and what my next steps of reporting are. I
The ethical dilemmas in this scenario, center on mandated report obligations, disclosure, and confidentiality. Both the school counselor and teacher are mandated reporters in the state of New York and must report suspected abuse/maltreatment. However, the state specifies that “Mandated reporters are required to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment when they are presented with a reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment in a situation where a child, parent, or other person
Mandated Reporters are persons who, as a result of their profession, are more likely to be aware of abuse or neglect of persons with disabilities. Mandated Reporters are required by law to report cases of suspected abuse to the Disabled Persons Protection Commission (DPPC) when they have a suspicion that a person with a disability is suffering from a reportable condition of abuse or neglect. Other persons who are not mandated to report may choose to file reports of suspected abuse. Who are Mandated
I completed the mandated reporter training for the state of Virginia. Being a mandated reporter means knowing what needs to be reported and how to identify signs or key phrases to look out for. The online training goes over different types of child abuse and neglect and provides information to become aware of signs pertaining to abuse or neglect.

The child welfare system in the United States is a nonstop job in which role shift in optimizing family protection and child safety. In 1997 the law and process for adoption and continues advocacy for the safety of the family changed the background of child welfare practice.

The mandated reporter training provided by the state of Arizona provides a lot of valuable information. The training provides not only social workers with information regarding reporting child abuse, but also to anyone that has any interaction with children. Much of the information provided in this training is not common knowledge to those outside of the child protection arena. I was already aware of the information provided due to my intensive training as a child protection worker. There are some
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spilled three million gallons of toxic mining waste into the Animas River. Journalists and Scholars criticize and praise the EPA for its work with the environment. Journalists writing about the EPA are writing to the public to inform them of current events. They use common language and explain concepts that may not be general knowledge. Scholars that write about the EPA have spent years analyzing the pros and cons of the EPA.

requires reporters to be “aloof observers, neutral participants in the surrounding world.” As we discussed in journalistic professionalism, the industry’s primary goal is to present unbiased, truthful stories to the public. Thus, it fitting to see that the job seeks after people who are “willing outsiders” of society and are capable of “enter[ing] an environment, collect[ing[ the facts, and writ[ing] an interesting, but detached story.” However, this all comes with a price to pay for the reporter.

7. ASSERTION: If the head football coach uses profanity during an interview, then the sports writer should directly quote him. Journalists are record-keepers and the public has a responsibility to know that what they can be used against them if caution is not taken seriously. EVIDENCE: Journalists have to “make sure that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, videos, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent.” (SPJ Code of Ethics) Additionally they should
Women have come a long way in the fight for equality – in the 1970s women fought for things like equal pay and equal opportunities in the workplace, yet this is still an issue today. This is even relevant to sport as sportsmen earn more than sportswomen for doing the same job. For years’ gender inequality has plagued professional sports, with people suggesting women’s sport is of a lower quality and women will never be as good as their male counterparts. On my cover I decided to blow up a picture
Script for IOP Rationale I chose to do my IOP as a TV show because I think that it is a good way of explaining the ideas in the poetry written by Sylvia Plath. My inspiration came from YouTube channels such as CrashCourse and tv shows such as Voices from the Air. I strongly believe that a creative presentation like this will help in the process of explaining the poem “Totem” than doing a purely analytical presentation. Thank you! Introduction Thank you for tuning into Channel 9. You are about to

I. Good morning everyone. II. “Just keep swimming” Does anyone know where this phrase came from? This catchphrase comes from Dory the blue fish from the movie Finding Nemo. There are endless amount of famous movie quotes that Disney movies have provided that gives a positive message to the society. In this case, Dory is trying to tell everyone that to reach your goal, you have to go all out-in this case “just keep swimming” until you reach your destination. III.

One of the initiated laws made by CAPTA was establishing mandated reporters among professionals who work with children.

time in school. However, the article states that 84% of all suspected abuse cases were never reported, which really does affect abuse victims lives (Dombrowski & Gischlar). Being a mandated reporter give school staff a role to protect children from cases of abuse and neglect. It is part of a duty of being a mandated reporter to report a suspected case of child abuse.

The clinician-patient confidentiality relationship is an important bond for patients to feel secure. This relationship is almost unbreakable; however, it is not invincible. Confidentiality of the patient can be broken if the patient discloses information about harming themselves or someone else. In the Tarasoff case study, the ethical question posed is: is it ethical for a therapist to break patient confidentiality if imminent danger of the patient or another person is disclosed during a therapy
In having mandated reporters, we are able to advocate for those children who are unable to speak their own minds either because of fear or they are just too young. I feel that because people know that there are mandated reporters out there they are held to a higher standard and should not be abusing their children. I feel that permanency planning is also very effective
