Reminder: Mandatory Reporting Law NOW in effect from WFIS

Effective this past July, be sure to follow the mandatory law requiring all schools in WA State to display the poster about Child Abuse.
RCW 26.44.030 requires that schools must display the poster in a "common area" at the 8x11.5" size, in English and Spanish.

It provides specific information about:

• Who is required to report child abuse and neglect
• The standard of knowledge to justify reporting
• The definition of reportable crimes
• Where to report
• What should be included in a report with appropriate timing

Use this link to download and print the poster which must posted in each school's common area.

Much appreciation to our partners at NWAIS for preparing a review of all mandatory reporting laws in their upcoming Fall Legal Issues newsletter.
