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.
