DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Educators have a duty to become involved in detecting and reporting abuse and neglect for at least three reasons. First, the trauma created by abuse and neglect is as much a detriment to learning as is a perceptual or physical difficulty. Second, teachers' roles place them in close contact with the child on a daily basis. And third, in all states, teachers are mandated by law to report child abuse and can be held liable for failure to do so. This book discusses the teacher's role in recognizing and reporting child abuse or neglect in nine chapters: (1) "How Do You Recognize Abuse and Neglect?" (2) "Whom Do You Tell?--The Reporting Process"; (3) "If You Suspect Child Abuse, How Can You Validate Your Suspicion?" (4) "Once You Report, What Happens Then?" (5) "What If You Have to Go to Court?" (6) "What Can You Do for the Child, Beyond Reporting?" (7) "Who Is the Child's Family?" (8) "How Can You Help the Child by Helping the Family?" and (9) "What Can You Do about Prevention?" Also included is a 41-item bibliography, eight appendices which include sources of further information and reporting procedure, and a list of state review board members. (JMK)

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is an invaluable resource for educators who are concerned about how to recognize and intervene effectively in situations of child abuse and neglect. Educators increasingly are being asked to report and intervene in cases of child maltreatment, but often do not know how to identify or react to situations. The book outlines symptoms, checklists for quick reference, and factors that put children at risk of maltreatment. The book then takes readers through the step-by-step process of reporting abuse and neglect, describes potential outcomes, and discusses assistance to parents and children that can be offered by educators. Dr. Crosson-Tower also describes how schools can create Child Protection Teams to enable all staff to manage abuse and neglect situations more effectively. This book will be essential to novice as well as expert educators who need current and easy to apply information in this difficult area.
