Reporting child abuse
Filing a report to the Title IX Office is a distinct reporting responsibility, in addition to Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse.
Under California Penal Code Section 11165.7, all employees or administrators of public or private postsecondary educational institutions are considered mandated reporters of child abuse. Mandated reporters are required, by law, to report all known or suspected cases of child abuse or neglect. It is not the job of the mandated reporter to determine whether the allegations are valid. If child abuse or neglect is reasonably suspected, or if an individual shares information with a mandated reporter leading them to believe abuse or neglect has taken place in the past, the report must be made. No supervisor or administrator can impede or inhibit a report or subject the reporting person to any sanction.
To make a report, an employee must immediately contact an appropriate local law enforcement or county child welfare agency, listed below. The report should be made immediately over the telephone and should be followed up in writing. This legal obligation is not satisfied by making a report of the incident to a supervisor or to the school.
