Mandated Reporter Statement

A mandated reporter is one who is required by law to report reasonable suspicions of

abuse. A child caregiver , like myself, is required to report and to be aware of all types
of abusive activity. In accordance with Michigan law we are required to report all
suspicions to Children’s Protective Services (CPS) at the Department of Human
Services (DHS).
