SB 1778, SA 2
CLARIFIES WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING
The Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) requires specified professions to report suspected child abuse and neglect to a hotline staffed by the Department of Children and Family Services. Many mandated reporters, however, do not know the potential signs of child abuse and neglect, when to report it, how to make a report, or the implications of making a hotline call.
State Senator Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) has passed a proposal reforming the confusing set of state rules governing reporting child abuse in Illinois.
