Mandated Reporting: What? Why? When? How? Who?

Additional Information

First Friday of every month in 2019!  3:00 - 6:30 p.m.


This presentation will illuminate the domain of mandatory reporting, by focusing on reporting responsibilities inherent in counseling professionals within an ethical framework. It includes aspects of their immunity and liability. Further, it clearly defines what the credible report consists of, and to whom reporting is necessary, while it offers the purpose for which counselors report, and states the time limits for reporting various offenses.


Many well-traIned counselors still grapple with difficult clinical situations which call for sound ethical decision-making. This is especially true when the welfare of vulnerable populations is at stake. The application of state statutes and the ICA code of ethics standards boosts confidence on these occasions. However, reviewing relevant legal definitions and providing illustrations of how and when these guidelines are applied in real-time vignettes lends practical experience in decision-making, clarifies the role of the counselor, and yields lasting impressions for future scenarios.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  1. Gain an understanding of how protected populations are defined and protected in Idaho.
  2. Gain an understanding of what the law as well as the ethical code constitutes as abuse, neglect, and abandonment in Idaho.
  3. Gain an understanding of the ethical, legal and moral standards for mandatory reporting – what, why, when, how, who – and to use the statute of limitations for reporting as a mandate.
