ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF MANDATED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS,
RECEIPT OF TRAINING, AND RECEIPT OF PENAL CODES STATUTES
A mandated reporter is an individual who is obligated by law to report suspected cases of
child abuse and neglect. In general, any individual who, in the ordinary course of their
employment, has contact with children is a mandated reporter. Mandated reporters include
child care workers, teachers and coaches. (California Penal Code 11165.7).
If your job duties as an employee or an independent contractor of _U'S Hindi Foundation_
include contact with children, you are a Mandated Reporter. Prior to commencing
employment and as a prerequisite of that employment, California law requires that you sign a
statement to the effect that you have knowledge of the provisions of the Mandated Reporter
Law, and will comply with those provisions. (California Penal Code 11166.5).
The following are the Mandated Reporter responsibilities under California law. You are also
being provided with a separate informational document which includes the text of the
California Mandated Reporter Law and contact information for Child Abuse and Neglect
Reporting for the County of Santa Clara. Please review this information carefully and
acknowledge your receipt and understanding where indicated. If you have questions or
concerns about this form or your Mandated Reporter responsibilities, please contact the
Recreation Supervisor at 408- 777 - 3120.
I understand that:
• By virtue of my employment or independent contractor status with US Hindi
Foundation, and because my employment requires me to have contact with
children, I am a Mandated Reporter as defined by California Penal Code 11165.7.
The following situations trigger mandatory reports: a) Physical Abuse (willful
harming of a child); b) Sexual abuse including sexual assault, child exploitation,
pornography, and trafficking; c.) Severe or General Neglect; and d) Extreme
Corporal Punishment (resulting in injury). (Cal. Pen. Code 11165 et. seq.) I
further understand that I may, but am not required to, report suspected Emotional
Abuse.
• If I reasonably suspect that a child is being abused, I must immediately make a-
telephone report. I must follow up with a written report within 36 hours. This
report may be made to local law enforcement, or County Sheriff s Department,
Probation Department or Child Welfare Agency. (Cal Pen. Code 11166(a)).
• I am not required to, but I may, share information about suspected abuse with my
supervisor or management or the parents of the alleged victim.
• When I make a mandated report, I will be required to give my name. However,
my identity will be kept confidential unless I either consent to disclosure or if the
disclosure is made pursuant to a court order. Further, agencies investigating the
mandated report may disclose my identity to one another. (Cal Pen. Code
11.167(d)).
• The following agencies and individuals receiving or investigating mandated
reports may disclose my identity to one another:
• Prosecutors in a criminal prosecuting or in an action initiated under
section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code arising from alleged child
abuse;
• Counsel appointed pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 317 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code;
o A licensing agency when abuse or neglect in out -of -home care is
reasonably suspected. (Cal Pen. Code 11167.5)
• I may not be disciplined, dismissed, retaliated against, discriminated against or
harassed for making a mandated report of reasonably suspected child abuse.
• As a Mandated Reporter, I have civil and criminal immunity when making a
report (Cal Pen. Code 11172).
As a Mandated Reporter, it is a miisdemeanor to fail to comply with
Mandated Reporting laws and I can be held criminally liable for failing to
report suspected abuse. The penalty for this is up to six months in County jail, a
fine of not more than $1000, or both. I further understand I could be civilly liable
for failure to report. (Cal. Pen. Code 111.66(c)).
I have been provided with a copy, via email, of California Penal Code sections 11164
11174.3 (Mandated Reporter Law).
I understand that I am a legally Mandated P;eporter. I am aware of and understand
my responsibilities under the Mandated Reporter laws of this state and am willing and
able to comply. I understand that a copy of this Acknowledgement will be kept in my
personnel file.
