Human service providers, therapists, and many other professionals are mandatory reporters. This presentation will provide an overview of mandatory reporting and go into detail regarding concerns about child abuse and neglect, as well as the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of at-risk elders and adults. 

This workshop will also include information about emergency procedures and mandates that lead to breaking confidentiality to report individuals who express a serious threat to themselves, others, or target entities.

Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to define mandatory reporting, and have additional understanding of who is required to report and what situations must be reported.

2. Participants will have an understanding of the Colorado Revised Statutes that are relevant to reporting child abuse and neglect, as well as abuse, neglect, and exploitation of at-risk elders and adults. 

3. Participants will have an understanding of Colorado Revised Statutes that are relevant to danger to self or others and grave disability, as well as duty to warn.

4. Participants will be able to define physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, caretaker neglect, and exploitation, and be able to identify signs of each.

5. Participants will have an understanding of the consequences of failure to report.

There will be several case presentations, during which participants will apply their new knowledge about mandatory reporting to particular cases, utilizing a discussion format.
