Book Description
Child maltreatment is a significant public health issue in the United States. Victims of child abuse and neglect often experience enduring difficulties related to psychological, cognitive, and physical development and functioning. Federal and state mandatory reporting laws provide a framework for some of the most comprehensive policies and programs that respond to and prevent child maltreatment in this country. Educators, by virtue of their daily interactions with students, consistently file the largest number of reports of child maltreatment among mandated reporting professionals. However, prior research related to mandatory reporting suggests that teachers do not always report their suspicions of abuse to protective service agencies or school officials. Using survey and interview data from a sample of 780 K-12 Catholic school teachers in Central Pennsylvania, this qualitative case study explored teachers' perceptions about their ability to recognize and report suspected child maltreatment. The investigation also identified potential barriers to complying with mandatory reporting laws and assessed K-12 Catholic teachers' perceptions of their pre-service and in-service education related to mandated reporting. Results from the "Adapted Educators Child Abuse Questionnaire (AECAQ)" and "Teacher Interview Protocol" indicated that most K-12 Catholic school teachers were confident in their ability to recognize and report suspected child maltreatment. However, a majority of teachers in this study expressed dissatisfaction with their pre-service or college training regarding their role as mandated reporters. Similarly, some teachers were unclear about the legal consequences of failing to report suspected child abuse and neglect. Implications for school leaders and future research may be considered.
