Mandated Reporter Training Provided By The State Of Arizona

385 Words2 Pages

The mandated reporter training provided by the state of Arizona provides a lot of valuable information. The training provides not only social workers with information regarding reporting child abuse, but also to anyone that has any interaction with children. Much of the information provided in this training is not common knowledge to those outside of the child protection arena. I was already aware of the information provided due to my intensive training as a child protection worker. There are some differences between the rules and laws of Arizona and Mississippi. One example is that in Mississippi we did not give information to the reporter of child abuse unless they were directly involved with the case. I do not feel that those that are not …show more content…

This training listed people and occupations that are considered mandated reporters. I strongly believe that everyone person should be a mandated reporter. Some states require that anyone that knows or suspects child abuse report it. The penalty for not reporting can be stiff, as it should be. I believe that all suspected abuse should be reported regardless of who you are or what position you hold. There could be an incidence of child abuse or neglect taking place and the people that know about it are not mandated reporters and they do not report it. This could be a situation where people knew and nothing was done causing the child to lose their life or be hurt.
I was not aware that this training was available online. In the future I will be able to share this information with others to be used a resource. This is free information that is available to the public and I will encourage everyone to take advantage of the information being provided. I will also continue to advocate that anyone that knows about child abuse report it. This is a simple tool provided by the state that can bring awareness to child abuse and child abuse

    Enquiries and serious case reviews take place when a child dies subsequent to having suffered abuse and/or neglect: this is what happened in the Baby P case and in the case of Victoria Climbie, which then led to a serious shake up in the child protection system and the issuing of the Children Act 2004 and guidelines for the early years foundation stage. The Victoria Climbie case also highlighted the poor communication between agencies and that point has also consequently been addressed. The Local Safeguarding Children Board also decides if a serious case review is needed in cases where harm has come to a child through neglect and abuse. One cannot stress enough the importance of cooperation and communication between agencies in preventing and

    In this case, the counselor had to collaborate more with the social worker to make that decision for the family. Furthermore, the counselor may have felt it was her duty to warn and protect. Lachman and Bernard (2006) illustrate that practitioners need supervision and training to determine factors such as class, gender, culture, and race that present a challenge in responding to child abuse. Also, the counselor did not have to provide proof of abuse only if she has reasonable cause to suspect that the child has been abused. Although the counselor was

    No research to date has indicated that applying harsher penalties or mandating national registries has reduced the recidivism rates among sex offenders, reduced sex trafficking against minors, nor child pornography. Despite the ongoing efforts of The Adam Walsh Act alongside other child safety acts as well, children in the United States are still perishing from sexual and physical abuse each day. According to data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), “49 States reported a total of 1,585 fatalities. Based on these data, a nationally estimated 1,670 children died from abuse or neglect in FFY 2015, which is 5.7 percent more than in 2011. This translates to a rate of 2.25 children per 100,000 children in the general population and an average of nearly five children dying every day from abuse or neglect”.(www.childwarefare.gov) Human Rights Watch shares that “the real risks that children face are quite different: government statistics indicate that most sexual abuse of children are committed by family members or trusted authority figures, and by someone who has not previously been convicted of a sex offense.

One of the adults that could have rescued Dave and could have done things differently is his father. His father, who was a fire fighter at the time, lived with the family and was exposed to the abuse. Although, the mother would conduct some of her most hideous acts of abuse when she was alone with Dave, the end results were not hidden from the father.

    Every year, 2 million children come into contact with the child welfare system due to investigations of parental abuse or neglect (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004). A recent policy implemented by Anytown’s Department of Job and Family Services pertains to the issue of child endangerment. It states that, “any household having one or more documented offenses of domestic violence, child abuse, or drug or alcohol related offenses committed by the mother, father, guardian, and/ or caregiver, will result in the removal of any child or children from the home.” The child will be placed in the care of the state until documentation can be provided on the offender, whereas they are “offense free” for a period of no less than six

    Some of these children may not be old enough to have a voice or they just are too shy. By having those in society aware of the signs and symptoms of child abuse we are hoping to break down the cycle. Some parents may not even believe that what they are doing to their child is a sign of child abuse but it could be something that has been passed down from their parents. What parents have to remember is that there are many ways of parenting around the world, this does not mean that anything goes, as long as it’s “cultural”, parents must adapt to what is acceptable in the dominant culture around them (Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance website, 2016, para.

Freud 's Repressed Memories theory shows that abusive memories are indirectly stored in the victim 's subconscious. In other words, a subject blocks out painful or traumatic experiences. This could lead to hysteria, and other complications in adulthood (Richmond).
