Reporting and Acting on Child Abuse and Neglect
Since the previous Prime Minister announced plans to consider introducing legislation on mandatory reporting, BASPCAN has been considering the potential merits and consequences of such legislation. This included a debate at Congress in 2015.
BASPCAN is currently consulting its membership on the proposals which now include a possible duty to act for specific professionals.
Two telephone conferences are being held in September to seek members views. All members are encouraged to take part and have their say in this important issue. To join a telephone conference contact the BASPCAN office by email: baspcan@baspcan.org.uk for further information.
