Try it freeMandated reporter questions usually describe a specific situation — a comment a child makes, an injury a teacher notices — and ask whether it triggers a legal duty to report, which depends on exact statutory language most people haven't memorized. Cambo reads the exact scenario and explains the reasoning under California's reporting law, not just yes or no.
Roughly 46 categories of professionals defined in Penal Code 11165.7, including teachers and school personnel, healthcare providers, mental health practitioners, clergy members in certain circumstances, childcare workers, firefighters, and law enforcement — people whose jobs put them in regular contact with children.
Yes, for many mandated reporter categories — school employees, for example, are required to complete training, and licensing bodies for several other professions require it as well.
It varies by profession and employer, but many California mandated reporters — including school personnel — are required to complete training annually.
No. Cambo is an independent study tool, not produced or endorsed by the State of California or its official mandated reporter training program.
The reporter's identity is kept confidential and is not disclosed to the alleged abuser, though it is generally known to the agency receiving the report and can be disclosed to certain other agencies as required by law.
No — mandated reporters are required to report based on reasonable suspicion, not to conduct their own investigation to confirm abuse occurred before contacting the appropriate agency.
