SUBJECT:

Formal Review - Policy on Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect

The University is proposing to issue a Policy on Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect. This policy is written to comply with California's Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act ("CANRA") which requires employers, including the University to identify Mandated Reporters and secure, as a condition of employment, acknowledgment of their status and reporting obligations.

The University has also included in this Policy required internal reports to help assure that any concerns of child abuse or neglect are properly addressed.

The proposed Policy, appendices and frequently asked questions are available at:

Employees who would like to comment on the proposed Policy should e-mail their comments by May 21, 2013 to employeerelations@ucsd.edu.
