      Under-reporting can sometimes be attributed to the professionals who are responsible for reporting the suspected abuse. In order to combat the problem of under-reporting, teachers and individuals who work with children in various capacities should be trained in policies and procedures so that they

      •Know how to identify possible sexual abuse

      •Know what steps to take to report the suspicion to the appropriate person or agency

      Organizations need to make their reporting policies clear and concise to anyone witnessing or suspecting child sexual abuse. Clear policies help to identify the appropriate channels of communication through which reports must be made. An organization may have pre-existing policies already in place but if an employee is confused about who the “appropriate authority” to report to is, or how exactly to report the abuse, they could become deterred from doing so for fear of doing it incorrectly or receiving backlash for not proceeding correctly.

      Law enforcement should also establish policies to encourage reporting, including

      •Emphasizing the criminal seriousness of such offenses

      •Providing incentives to report

      •Making reporting easier

      •Working with schools about policies concerning when to involve the police.²²

      It is important to note that individuals required to report sexual abuse can be legally culpable for not reporting it. In some instances, it is a felony offense to not report an incident when required by law.

      See Appendix 1 and 2 for sample state statutes requiring mandatory reporting and the penalties for the failure to report child sexual abuse.
