Learning Outcomes

Course Overview
Though everyone should report child abuse, a number of professionals must report abuse or be held liable by law. Caregivers, teachers and other professionals in positions that have close and frequent contact with children are considered “mandated reporters” of abuse. The first step in helping abused or neglected children is learning to recognize the signs of child abuse and neglect.
