The UC Policy on Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect (Policy) is being provided for a final informational notice to the University’s academic and staff employees. This policy has been revised to include comments received during the formal systemwide review which concluded in February 2013.
This Policy was written to comply with California’s Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) and related amendments that were effective January 1, 2013. CANRA requires employers, including the University, to identify Mandated Reporters.
These Mandated Reporters are required to:
• Report any observed or suspected child abuse or neglect to designated law enforcement or social services agencies, and
• As a condition of employment, sign a form acknowledging their status as a Mandatory Reporter and that they understand their reporting obligations.
