    Exerted from: Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect
    State Statutes Series 2005
    Author(s): Child Welfare Information Gateway
    Year Published: 2005

    All States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands have statutes identifying mandatory reporters of child maltreatment.

    Individuals typically designated as mandatory reporters have frequent contact with children. Such individuals may include:

    Social workers
    School personnel
    Health care workers
    Mental health professionals
    Childcare providers
    Medical examiners or coroners
    Law enforcement officers
    Some other professions frequently mandated across the States include commercial film or photograph processors (in 11 States and 2 territories), substance abuse counselors (in 13 States), and probation or parole officers (in 13 States).2 Six States (Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, and South Dakota) include domestic violence workers on the list of mandated reporters. Members of the clergy now are required to report in 25 States.3
