Ethics of Mandating Reporting
Feb. 8th | 10 am - 1pm EST | 3 CE's | Kathryn S. Krase, PhD, JD, MSW
Class Description
Mandating Reporting -Ethics, Racial and Social Justice For over 50 years, various professionals have been required by law to report suspicions of child abuse and neglect as “mandated reporters”. This workshop explores the role of mandated reporting by applying foundational ethical principles through the lens of racial & social justice. An exploration of the original intent of mandated reporter laws will be juxtaposed with the evolution of the legal responsibility, and resulting disproportionalities in the current system. As society grapples with the role that certain systems, including the child welfare system, have played in poor outcomes for children of color, it is vital that we explore the role that individual reporters play in this process. This workshop will provide a framework for professionals to place their role in context, with the goal of furthering racial and social justice for all children and families. Learning Objectives 1) Participants will understand the competing ethical and legal principles at play in the development of mandated reporting laws over time. 2) Participants will be able to explain the contributing factors related to racial disproportionality in the child welfare system. 3) Participants will identify ethical/ moral and legal conundrums faced when making the decision to report. 4) Participants will apply a framework to guide the process for considering racial and social justice when determining whether they are required to make a report to child protective services. Dr. Krase is an expert in preparing professionals in the ethical reporting of suspected child maltreatment. She is the co-author of two books: Child Welfare: Preparing Social Workers for Practice in the Field (2021), and, Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect: A Practical Guide for Social Workers (2009). Over the past decade, the main subject of her research and writing has been the disproportionate representation of BIPOC children in reports to child protective services, and the role that bias plays.
