The Home Office has issued a call for evidence on the mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse.

The Home Office are keen to get responses from VCSE organisations and charities working with children and young people.

Questions of particular importance to the VCSE sector include:

  • Should mandatory reporting apply only to individuals, only to organisations, to both, or to all adults? 
  • Should mandatory reporting extend beyond child sexual abuse to all types of abuse and neglect?
  • What impacts might this have on individuals / organisations with this reporting duty?

The consultation closes on 14 August. Visit the Government website to get involved.
