What you'll learn
Learning about California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, or CANRA
Identification of Child Abuse and Neglect
Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect
Skills covered in this course
Description
The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, or CANRA, was adopted in 1980. Since then, it's been amended several times, but essentially, the law requires mandated reporters to make formal reports of suspected child abuse to law enforcement authorities if they have knowledge of, or have observed, a child who the reporter knows, or reasonably suspects, has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. This definition often raises many questions. For example, how do you know if you're a mandated reporter? What signs should you look for? What's a "reasonable suspicion"? What happens if you see something, but choose not to report it? We'll answer these questions and more, here, in our course on CANRA.

Child Abuse and Neglect: California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act
The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, or CANRA, was adopted in 1980. Since then, it's been amended several times, but essentially, the law requires mandated reporters to make formal reports of suspected child abuse to law enforcement authorities if they have knowledge of, or have observed, a child who the reporter knows, or reasonably suspects, has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. This definition often raises many questions. For example, how do you know if you're a mandated reporter? What signs should you look for? What's a "reasonable suspicion"? What happens if you see something, but choose not to report it? We'll answer these questions and more, here, in our course on CANRA.
Child Abuse and Neglect: Identification of Child Abuse and Neglect
In your role as a mandated reporter, it can feel like a lot of responsibility to identify child abuse and neglect. The warning signs of child abuse and neglect aren't always obvious. But by learning to recognize the signs of a problem, you can make a huge difference in a child's life. In this course, we'll talk about the signs and symptoms of neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse in children. Specific signs and symptoms depend on the type of abuse and can vary, but the common denominator is the emotional effect on the child. Whatever the abuse, the child is left feeling unsafe, uncared for, and alone. Let's talk about how to spot those most vulnerable.
Child Abuse and Neglect: Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect
If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, as a mandated reporter, you are obligated to report this information, and to continue reporting each separate incident, if it continues to occur. Each report you make is a snapshot of what's going on in the family. The more information you can provide, the better the chance of the child getting the help they deserve. Of course, it's normal to have some reservations or worries about reporting child abuse. In this program, we'll address these concerns, and talk about why it's important to report what you see. We'll discuss what "reasonable suspicion" means under the law and go over mandated reporters' criminal and civil liability.
