Obviously, we prize the safety and security of our children, elders, and dependent adults. Indeed, there are overriding public policies addressing the safety and well-being of children, elders and dependent adults. 

While we don't want to turn everyone into investigators, we do want those who we deem to be mandated reporters to be our eyes and ears.

This means that mandated reporters, if they have reasonable suspicion, become the voice for children, elders, and dependent adults who might be being abused or neglected.

The challenge is for employees to understand:

Whether they are a mandated reporter in the first place

What their legal obligations are as a mandated reporter

What reasonable suspicion means

In this episode:

• What is a mandated reporter
• What is a minor
• What is an elder
• What is a dependent adult
• Reasonable suspicion
• What to report
• How to report
