A mandated reporter is a person legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authority. Childcare staff are mandated reporters in every US state, and the obligation is personal rather than delegated to the employer.
Reporting duties are triggered by reasonable suspicion, not proof, and reporting in good faith is legally protected.
Most states require mandated reporter training at hire and periodically thereafter, which centers must be able to evidence.
