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.
