    Kristin W. Roscoe, Esp.


        "Child Abuse and Neglect"

    Note:  Webinar - register directly through CAMFT's website below

    Sometimes, child abuse or neglect is obvious, and you don’t even hesitate before calling CPS or law enforcement. Unfortunately, most of your obligations as a mandated reporter live in that horrible grey area. Is what your patient reports even something that could trigger obligations to report? Do you have reasonable suspicion that child abuse or neglect may have occurred? What is reasonable suspicion? Have you ever found yourself asking these types of questions? If so, this three-hour workshop will provide attendees with an overview of those obligations outlined in California’s Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) to be more confident when presented with potential reporting issues.

    Learning Objectives

    In successfully completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

    1. Identify the categories of child abuse and neglect under California’s Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act
    2. Identify the three entities a mandated reporter is permitted to report to
    3. State the amount of time a mandated reporter has to make an initial verbal report and the subsequent written report
    4. State the amount of time a mandated reporter has to make an initial verbal report and the subsequent written report
    5. Distinguish between those reporting obligations that are mandated versus permissive

      Presenter:

      Kristin W. Roscoe, Esq., CAMFT Staff Attorney, takes CAMFT member phone calls regarding law and ethics issues and contributes articles on those subjects to CAMFT's publication, the Therapist. Prior to joining CAMFT’s legal team in 2019, Kristin represented healthcare professionals and hospitals in medical malpractice litigation at La Follette, Johnson, DeHaas, Fesler & Ames.


      Since entering the legal profession, Kristin has worked in various capacities presenting to and advocating on behalf of her clients both in and outside of the courtroom. Kristin received her B.A. from The College of Wooster in 2006 and graduated from The American University Washington College of Law with her J.D. in 2012.
