HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In the hustle and bustle of starting school again, it may be easy for teachers and other school employees to overlook even the most obvious signs of child abuse. However, it is the first few days back at school that might be the most revealing when it comes to recognizing potential signs of abuse for a child who has spent the past few months in an abusive or neglectful home.
“For employees in school settings, returning to school involves responsibilities beyond getting the classroom and school ready for the children—including being a ‘mandated reporter’ of suspected child abuse,” says Jeanne M. Groeneveld, director of training for the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA).
