Working with vulnerable children: Mandatory reporting

CPD hours:
1

Protecting children and young people is a responsibility that is shared by the whole community and mandatory reporters have an important, legal duty to fulfil.

This module discusses how mandatory reporting laws help support the protection of children in society. It provides details, state by state, of who is required to make a report, on what grounds a report should be made, when the report must be made and how to make a report.

All mandatory reporters in healthcare facilities are required to undertake annual training on child protection and their roles and responsibilities.

This module compliments two other modules that are available: Working with children: Identifying and responding to vulnerable children and Vulnerable young people and the age of consent.

It is recommended that all those working in healthcare complete the first two modules and that all those who are mandatory reporters complete this, the third module.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
