Mandatory Reporters play a vital role in safeguarding vulnerable children when they believe abuse or neglect is occurring. This is done through reporting to the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) Intake, or by supporting families with community referrals when they have identified risk factors present that could contribute to the potential of abuse or neglect. 

This eLearning course is designed to guide you through the essential steps of Mandatory Reporting and is divided into three key sections—Recognize, Record, and Report. Throughout this eLearning, you will be introduced to indicators of abuse, how to support a family in your community when you have a concern about the potential for abuse or neglect to occur, how to accurately document concerns of abuse or neglect, and the reporting process. You'll explore the influence of biases on reporting decisions and racial disproportionality within our state’s child welfare system. You will also be provided with a number of resources to support your role as Mandatory Reporter.
