What is a Mandated Reporter?

Wisconsin individuals who work in certain professions are required to report known or suspected abuse or neglect of a child younger than 18. These individuals are known as mandated reporters. Mandated reporters include teachers, social workers, principals, law enforcement officers, daycare providers, foster parents and many others who work with children.
