Mandated Reporting

Do I Have to Report? Actually, Yes!

Mandated Reporting.  Everyone’s favorite topic.  Well, not really. 

 

There will inevitably come a time in your career (or maybe even in your internship, like me) that you feel that there is a mandate to report. 

 

The 3 Principles:

  • Is there imminent harm for the person (suicide for example)?

  • Is there imminent harm from this person towards another?

  • Third-party reports (she said this about this person) are not, in most cases, considered a mandate to report.  These are hearsay.  Knowing this difference can help with clarifying whether or not to report.
