Navigating the Systems to Respond to Disclosures of Abuse, Neglect, Assault, and Violence to a Person Under 18 (2020)
When a disclosure of violence or abuse towards someone under the age of 18 occurs, there are several systems and processes that may begin as a result (Mandatory Reporting processes, Title IX Processes in Education Settings, and support from Confidential Resources). Each of these systems are focused on trying to ensure that people experiencing violence and abuse have access to services that support health and safety. In order to best support survivors, it is critical that we have a basic understanding of each of the processes and players that a survivor may need to navigate.
This resource provides a general example of many of the players and processes that may be involved in responding to disclosures.
