In both the United States and Canada, educators are key identifiers and mandatory reporters of child abuse. Once identified, how likely are they to actually report it? Unfortunately, it depends. So, what does it depend upon? What are the complexities teachers face in identifying and reporting? 

Join NCA CEO Teresa Huizar and University of Ottawa research assistant Amanda Glouchkow to explore the accuracy of teachers identifying various forms of abuse, the inconsistency in reporting, and the international differences in training and cultural norms.

This conversation covers underlying factors such as teacher training, beliefs, and systemic support, highlighting the need for better preparation and support for teachers as mandatory reporters. Amanda also shares surprising findings from her research and emphasizes the importance of improving training and support for educators.
