The following groups are commonly mandated reporters who are required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect:
- Healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, etc.)
- Social workers and counselors
- Teachers, school administrators, and other school personnel
- Law enforcement officers
- Childcare providers and youth program personnel
- Clergy members
- Medical examiners and coroners
- Public assistance workers and related state agency employees
Mandated reporters are usually professionals who have regular contact with children, vulnerable adults, or persons with disabilities. Those who are not typically mandated reporters would include people without designated professional or institutional roles related to caregiving, education, healthcare, or law enforcement. If you have a list of options or specific groups you want to check, please provide them so I can identify which one is not a mandated reporter based on the above context. Without option details, it is not possible to specify which one is not mandated. Would it be possible to share "the following" list referenced in the query? This would allow for direct comparison against the mandated reporter categories. The references above are summarized from authoritative state and federal sources on mandated reporting requirements.
