D. the within report is optimal

Answer:-

A. Thus the best answer is A) as mandated reporters have immunity from criminal liability under CANRA (Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act) in California. They are obligated to report suspected child abuse and neglect, with no risk of criminal liability when making a reported provided it was done in good faith. They are not immune from civil liability or confidentiality.

B. The written report to the child welfare agency must be completed:

B) In a jiffy –The written report should be dispatched to the child welfare agency as soon as possible or immediately following after being making of initial phone reporting.

C) State structure – California uses a standard Suspected Child Abuse Report form that mandated reporters are to use when filing their written report. It cannot simply be a letter, it should use the state form.

A) It is not necessary to prepare the report form on official letterhead. It is important to use the state form correctly and submit it directly after making that first phone report.

The main points to be remembered are that the mandated reporters will have to use state abuse report form and file it soon after they call Child Protective Services for making an initial verbal notification . If the report is made in good faith, they have immunity from any potential criminal liability but not civil. Confidentiality does not extend to mandated reporters – they have a duty to reveal abuse of authorities
