CHCPRT001 Children at Risk - Mandatory Reporting
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2021 3:19 pm
Hi,
I need to explain to junior staff their responsibilities in terms of MANDATORY REPORTING. My answer was:
"According to Commonwealth and NSW State Legislation, child educators must report suspected sexual, physical, psychological abuse, neglect and exposure to domestic violence of a child under 16 to their manager/supervisor, who then reports to child protection services (Section 23 and 27 of Children and Young Persons Care and Protection Act 1998 NSW, Accessed: 30/12/2020)."
The marker wanted me to review and amend this answer. I'm a bit at a loss. Maybe I should add what other professionals need to report and include Commonwealth Law ?
Many thanks for any guidance!
