Mandated Reporting Not Limited to Child Abuse
Help protect your ministry's children, employees, and volunteers: Learn the laws in your state.
Would you know what to do if you suspected a child at your ministry had been abused? In many states, ministry workers and volunteers are legally required to report child abuse if they become aware of it—even if the abuse occurs outside the church. To better protect the children in your ministry, it’s imperative that all ministry workers and volunteers understand the child abuse reporting laws that apply to them.
