NOTICE OF CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that Penal Code section 11166 and the contractual
obligations between County of Fresno (COUNTY) and Cultural Brokers, Inc. related to
provision of services, require that the undersigned report all known or suspected child abuse or
neglect to one or more of the agencies set forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section (§) 11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child abuse or
neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon a child by
another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined in P.C. §11165.2,
willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3, and unlawful corporal
punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her professional
capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or observes a child
whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or
neglect. (P.C §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to any police department or
sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or security department), or to any
county welfare department, including Fresno County Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour
CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a
reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her training and
experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child does not, in and of
itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse. (P.C. §11166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements. Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the
County of Fresno Department of Social Services Director or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the child abuse
reporting requirements.
