question 2

you must get the scr to accept a report in order to meet your legal obligations as a mandated reporter.

true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the legal duty of a mandated reporter

The legal obligation of a mandated reporter is to make a report (i.e., call or submit a report to the State Central Register, or SCR) when they have reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment.

Evaluate the role of the SCR in fulfilling this duty

The mandated reporter's legal duty is fulfilled by making the report in good faith. The decision of whether to accept, register, or track the report for investigation rests entirely with the SCR intake specialist based on state statutory thresholds. A reporter cannot control whether the SCR accepts the report, and their legal obligation is met once the call/report is made.
