Mandated Reporter Training – FAQs
Who is a Mandated Reporter?
A mandated reporter is an individual held to a higher standard of responsibility and there can be serious consequences when they don’t report suspected abuse. For more information, check out keepkidssafe.pa.gov.
Am I Mandated Reporter?
In the state of PA, any volunteer serving with children in PA is a Mandated Reporter. By signing the WCCEC Volunteer Affidavit, every WCCEC volunteer is a Mandated Reporter.
Why do I need to do this?
This training reflects changes in the state law (Act 153) that were enacted to prevent child abuse in the state of PA in response to the cover-up to abuse at Penn State University. Also, we as believers want to be obedient to the Lord and the Word of God. Our heart is to do all we can to protect the children entrusted to our care. “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2
Is the training mandatory?
