Whitman Employees Are Mandatory Reporters
|
Feature by: Human Resources
|
Every person employed by Whitman College should be aware of their responsibilities related to the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect Policy. This policy is based on RCW 26.44 and RCW 28B.10.846, which require all employees of institutions of higher education—including student employees—who have reasonable cause to believe any person under the age of 18 years has suffered abuse or neglect to report this information to the Walla Walla Police Department or Child Protective Services.
If the suspected abuser is a member of the Whitman community, the abuse or neglect occurred on college property or college facilities, or the abuse occurred in relation to college programming, you must also make a report to Telara McCullough, Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, at 509-527-5941 or mcculltl@whitman.edu.
Students employees can access a very brief training that outlines this policy, by logging into the Vector Solutions platform. Under “My Assignments,” click on the “Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect” course.
Please direct any questions to hr@whitman.edu.
