Mandated Reporters

Maine law states that certain people must report suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of an adult if they believe the adult is incapacitated or dependent. Maine law also states that certain people must report to the Department if they know or have reasonable cause to suspect that a child has been or is likely to be abused or neglected. The training links below are to on-line self paced training covering all aspects of mandatory reporting in Maine for children and adults.
