Conference Highlight: Janice Severson answers your questions

Mandated Reporters of child abuse provide a voice for children throughout New York State.  The focus of our presentation at the SAANYS Conference was to inform constituents of NYS legislative updates, to raise awareness of child abuse and maltreatment, and to increase understanding of reporting requirements.  We also discussed how to successfully complete reporting requirements to fulfill professional legal mandates and how legislative updates impact legal responsibility for district staff.

I’m here to answer any questions you might have about the presentation and to share more information about how we can assist and educate your staff.
