Mandatory Reporting
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MANDATORY REPORTER OF SEXUAL ABUSE, PHYSICAL ABUSE, AND NEGLECT?
Any person who works with students in Spring Lake Park Schools District 16, whether paid or volunteer, accepts an important legal responsibility to protect all students against sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect through reporting suspected abuse. The law requires anyone who works with children to be a mandatory reporter. If you have knowledge that a student has potentially been abused by anyone, you must report the incident to social services and/or law enforcement immediately. Failure to report can result in fines, dismissal, and even incarceration. (Additional Information) If you suspect abuse or neglect you should call Child Protection at Anoka County Social Services at 763-422-7125. |
