| Child Abuse |
Community Care Preschool & Child Care, Inc. is mandated by State Law Statute 48.981 to report any
Services or to local law enforcement.
All employees of Community Care receive training in child abuse and neglect laws, indicators of abuse
and neglect, and the process of reporting suspected cases of abuse or neglect.
All staff are instructed on possible signs indicating abuse and/or neglect. The presence of these
indicators is sufficient to warrant a staff member to be suspicious of abuse and/or neglect.
Reporting the suspicion of abuse is recommended whether proof or investigation procedures have
been undertaken.
Not all injuries indicate abuse; however, a pattern of injuries can be cause for concern and may lead
staff to suspect that injuries could be related to abusive treatment. For the protection of the
children and the center, staff will record in the medical log any injuries present when a child arrives
at the center. Entries will follow the medical log procedures.
Staff are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the center director. Any staff member with a
“reasonable suspicion” is legally obligated to report. Passing on information to other staff or to the
director does not relieve the staff member of their obligation to report. The center will support
staff members in making the decision and affirm that a report made in good faith will in no way
jeopardize the person’s position with Community Care.
The center may consult with outside agencies as needed. Outside consultation will be done with the
expectation that the family’s right to confidentiality will be maintained at all times. Discussions
that identify a child or family will be limited to center employees and staff of reporting agencies as
required by law.
