In North Carolina, any person or institution with cause to suspect child abuse, neglect, or dependency is legally required to report it. For professionals working with children and families, this responsibility can create unique challenges—balancing support and trust with complex decisions about when to break confidentiality.

This training demystifies the child welfare and law enforcement systems that respond to reports, helping participants better understand their roles, responsibilities, and the real-world impact of involving these agencies. The session reviews key elements of the NC Juvenile Code, outlines the Department of Social Services' response process, and explores ethical tensions that arise when reporting suspected maltreatment.

Participants will learn best practice guidelines for decision making and communication with families, then apply those skills through case studies and collaborative discussion with peers.
