“MANDATED REPORTER" RESOURCES SURVEY
As a family physician, you are a mandated reporter of child abuse under Pennsylvania law. The PAFP Foundation is working with the PA Coalition Against Rape and its Vision of Hope Campaign to help family physicians recognize child sexual abuse among patients so that victims have access to treatment.
Would you please help Vision of Hope to gather information about “mandated reporter” training?
Please
click here for the three surveys: one for providers, another for employers of providers, and another for training organizations. Take all surveys that apply.
*Deadline is Monday, Jan. 24.* The PAFP Foundation will then work with Vision of Hope to improve your access to training.
