CLSD Employees are Mandatory Reporters
Any person may report incidents or suspected child abuse or neglect. School personnel, day-care providers, social workers, health care workers, and law enforcement officers are all designated as mandatory reporters in Oregon. Oregon state law requires mandatory reporters to notify the Department of Human Services (DHS) or a local law enforcement agency of incidents or suspected child abuse.
WE REPORT CHILD ABUSE: Physical Abuse, Child Sexual Abuse, Neglect, Emotional Abuse/Mental Injury, Threat of Harm
If you See Something, Say Something
A volunteer who observes signs, or becomes aware of potential child abuse should immediately report it to the school principal. Under no circumstances should anyone contact a student’s parent/guardian about a child abuse report. Volunteers must keep all information about students strictly confidential.
