Executive Order: 1083 Revised July 21, 2017
Effective Date: July 21, 2017
Supersedes: Executive Order 1083 January 1, 2013
Title: Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect
The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, California Penal Code §§ 11164-
11174.3 (“CANRA” or the “Act”), identifies certain groups of employees as “Mandated
Reporters” of child abuse and also imposes various obligations on and extends certain
protections to those Mandated Reporters as well as their employers. As a covered employer, the
California State University (CSU) is required to comply with the Act. Relevant excerpts of the
Act are provided as Attachment A.
To implement and assure compliance with the Act, this executive order:
Identifies the categories of employees within the CSU that are Mandated Reporters;
Explains the difference between two types of Mandated Reporters;
Provides information to Mandated Reporters regarding their reporting requirements and
the procedures they must follow;
Provides information to Mandated Reporters regarding the legal immunity extended with
respect to their reporting;
Provides forms and training resources for Mandated Reporters (training is available for
all employees and volunteers); and
Identifies information that is required to be included on job postings/position
announcements and job descriptions.
Apart from the legal obligations the Act imposes, it is the policy of the California State
University to require all Management Personnel Plan employees and all volunteers, and to
strongly encourage all other members of the CSU community who are not designated under the
Act, to report child abuse and neglect occurring on CSU premises or at an official activity of, or
Executive Order 1083
Revised July 21, 2017
Page 2 of 9
program conducted by, the CSU. All employees and volunteers should be notified of the Act and
the availability of training.
I. DEFINITIONS
“Child” means a person under the age of 18 years.
“Child Abuse or Neglect” refers to physical injury or death inflicted by other than
accidental means on a child; sexual assault or sexual exploitation of a child including
sexual intercourse between a child under 16 years of age and a person 21 years of age or
older, lewd or lascivious acts, and child molestation; negligent treatment or the
maltreatment of a child by a person responsible for the child’s welfare under
circumstances indicating harm or threatened harm to the child’s health or welfare; willful
harming, injuring, or endangering a child; and unlawful corporal punishment.
“Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act” refers to California Penal Code §§ 11164-
11174.3, which identifies certain employment positions as Mandated Reporters with
specified reporting obligations for suspected child abuse and neglect.
“General Reporters” is a category of Mandated Reporter, defined by the CSU as those
who are legally required to report child abuse or neglect no matter where it occurs. For
the purposes of this policy, any employee who satisfies the criteria for both Limited
Reporters and General Reporters will be designated as a General Reporter.
“Limited Reporters” is a category of Mandated Reporter, in accordance with California
Penal Code § 11165.7(a)(41), and defined by the CSU as those who are legally required
to report child abuse or neglect only if it occurs on CSU premises or at an official activity
of, or program conducted by, the CSU.
“Mandated Reporters means CSU employees or volunteers required under CANRA
and CSU policy to report suspected child abuse and neglect to specified authorities. For
the purposes of this policy, “Mandated Reporters” includes two categories: Limited
Reporters and General Reporters; “Mandated Reporter” refers to both Limited Reporters
and General Reporters.
“Reasonable Suspicion” as defined under Penal Code § 11166(a) means that “it is
objectively reasonable…[for a Mandated Reporter] to entertain such a suspicion, based
upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when
appropriate, on his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect.”
Facts upon which a reasonable suspicion may arise do not have to have been witnessed
by the Mandated Reporter but can be learned from other sources.
Executive Order 1083
Revised July 21, 2017
Page 3 of 9
II. EMPLOYEES WHO ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT
The Act identifies forty-four (44) employment positions as Mandated Reporters with specified
mandated reporting responsibilities, including those whose duties involve regular contact with
children or who supervise such employees. Categories of CSU employees who qualify as
Mandated Reporters are identified in Attachment B.
Campus Human Resources will have established a list of classifications (or in some cases,
positions within classifications) that fall within the broad categories identified in Attachment B.
The list will distinguish between (a) those who are legally required to report child abuse or
neglect only if it occurs on CSU premises or at an official activity of, or program conducted by,
the CSU (Limited Reporters) and (b) those who are legally required to report suspected abuse or
neglect wherever it occurs (General Reporters). Any employee who satisfies the criteria for both
Limited Reporters and General Reporters will be designated as a General Reporter. The list
should be periodically updated.
In addition, as a matter of CSU policy, all Management Personnel Plan employees and all
volunteers are considered Limited Reporters (except that Management Personnel Plan employees
who meet the definition of “General Reporter” are General Reporters).
Non-Management Personnel Plan employees hired prior to January 1, 1985 are not required to be
designated as Mandated Reporters
1
but are strongly encouraged to report suspected child abuse
or neglect.
III. WHEN REPORTING IS REQUIRED
The Act requires Mandated Reporters to report child abuse and neglect whenever, in their
professional capacity or within the scope of their employment, they observe or reasonably
suspect it. For General Reporters, reporting extends to suspected abuse or neglect wherever it
occurs. For Limited Reporters, the reporting obligation is limited to suspected abuse or neglect
occurring on CSU premises or at an official activity of, or program conducted by, the CSU.
A Mandated Reporter should reasonably suspect child abuse or neglect whenever “it is
objectively reasonable … to entertain such a suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a
reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her training and
experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect.” (Penal Code § 11166(a)). Facts upon which a
reasonable suspicion may arise do not have to have been witnessed by the Mandated Reporter
but can be learned from other sources.
The Mandated Reporter is personally responsible for determining when reporting is required and
following the reporting procedures identified in the Act, as summarized below. In other words, it
is the individual employee’s legal obligation to report, not the CSU’s.
1
While this executive order excludes non-Management Personnel Plan employees hired prior to January 1, 1985
from being designated as Mandated Reporters, these employees may still have a legal obligation to report suspected
child abuse or neglect under California Penal Code § 11165.7 and § 11166. Accordingly, the CSU strongly
encourages all employees to report suspected child abuse or neglect.

Campus Human Resources will have direct or oversight responsibilities for the following:
Identifying Mandated Reporters (Limited Reporters and General Reporters)
Ensuring that the statement described in Section XII appears in the position
announcement and position description of all Mandated Reporter positions
Ensuring that all Mandated Reporters (with the exception of non-Management Personnel
Plan employees hired prior to January 1, 1985) are provided with statements to be
completed acknowledging their legal obligations (Attachments C and D)
Tracking Mandated Reporters’ completion of Attachments C and D and placing the
signed statements in each employee’s personnel file
Assisting Mandated Reporters in carrying out their reporting responsibilities
Taking measures, if necessary, to ensure that Mandated Reporters are not impeded in
performing their duties
VII. PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING
Mandated Reporters are legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect as follows:
Step One: Immediately, or as soon as practically possible, contact by phone one of the
following:
o a police or sheriff’s department (including campus police but not including a
school district police or security department);
Executive Order 1083
Revised July 21, 2017
Page 6 of 9
o a county probation department (if designated by the county to receive mandated
reports); or
o the county welfare department (Child Protected Services or CPS).
Step Two: Within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the incident:
o Complete Form SS 8572 (included as Attachment E and also available at
http://ag.ca.gov/childabuse/pdf/ss_8572.pdf; instructions available at
http://ag.ca.gov/childabuse/pdf/8572_instruct.pdf; and
o send, fax, or electronically transmit it to the agency that was contacted by phone
(Penal Code § 11166(a))
Note: In case of an emergency or if a crime is in progress, employees should always
immediately call campus police or 911.
At the time of the phone call, the Mandated Reporter must provide the following information,
if known:
Name, business address, and telephone number of the Mandated Reporter
Child's name, address, and present location
Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the child's parents, guardian, or caretaker
Source of information that led to the suspicion of child abuse
Name, address, telephone number, and other personal information of person(s) who
might have abused the child
The Mandated Reporter is not excused from making a report where some of this information is
not known or is uncertain.
For suspected abuse or neglect occurring on CSU premises or at an official activity of, or
program conducted by the CSU, Mandated Reporters are encouraged, but not required, to also
notify their supervisors or other appropriate administrators. However, reporting to a supervisor,
a coworker, or any other person is not a substitute for making a mandated report to one of the
agencies listed above.
When two or more persons, who are required to report, jointly have knowledge of a known or
suspected instance of child abuse or neglect, and when there is agreement among them, the
telephone report may be made by a member of the team selected by mutual agreement and a
single report may be made and signed by the selected member of the reporting team. Any
member who has knowledge that the member designated to report has failed to do so shall
thereafter make the report (Penal Code § 11166(h)).

jail, a fine of $1,000, or both (Penal Code §§ 11166(c) and 11166.01(a)).
Where the abuse results in death or great bodily injury, the Mandated Reporter who fails to make
a required report or administrator or supervisor who impeded or inhibited the report is subject to
punishment of up to one year in jail, a fine of $5,000, or both (Penal Code § 11166.01(b)).

(c) Except as provided in subdivision (d), employers are strongly
encouraged to provide their employees who are mandated reporters with
training in the duties imposed by this article. This training shall
include training in child abuse and neglect identification and
training in child abuse and neglect reporting. Whether or not
employers provide their employees with training in child abuse and
neglect identification and reporting, the employers shall provide
their employees who are mandated reporters with the statement required
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 11166.5.
(d) Pursuant to Section 44691 of the Education Code, school
districts, county offices of education, state special schools and

Attachment A
Page 8 of 14
(2) A person specified in paragraph (1) who becomes a licensee,
administrator, or employee of a licensed child day care facility shall
take renewal mandated reporter training every two years following the
date on which he or she completed the initial mandated reporter
training. The training shall include, but not necessarily be limited
to, training in child abuse and neglect identification and child abuse
and neglect reporting.
(f) Unless otherwise specifically provided, the absence of training
shall not excuse a mandated reporter from the duties imposed by this
article.
(g) Public and private organizations are encouraged to provide their
volunteers whose duties require direct contact with and supervision of
children with training in the identification and reporting of child
abuse and neglect.
11166. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (d), and in Section
11166.05, a mandated reporter shall make a report to an agency
specified in Section 11165.9 whenever the mandated reporter, in his or
her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her
employment, has knowledge of or observes a child whom the mandated
reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child
abuse or neglect. The mandated reporter shall make an initial report
by telephone to the agency immediately or as soon as is practicably
possible, and shall prepare and send, fax, or electronically transmit
a written followup report within 36 hours of receiving the information
concerning the incident. The mandated reporter may include with the
report any nonprivileged documentary evidence the mandated reporter
possesses relating to the incident.
(1) For purposes of this article, “reasonable suspicion” means that
it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion,
based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like
position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her training and
experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. “Reasonable suspicion”
does not require certainty that child abuse or neglect has occurred
nor does it require a specific medical indication of child abuse or
neglect; any “reasonable suspicion” is sufficient. For purposes of
this article, the pregnancy of a minor does not, in and of itself,
constitute a basis for a reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
(2) The agency shall be notified and a report shall be prepared and
sent, faxed, or electronically transmitted even if the child has
expired, regardless of whether or not the possible abuse was a factor
contributing to the death, and even if suspected child abuse was
discovered during an autopsy.
(3) A report made by a mandated reporter pursuant to this section
shall be known as a mandated report.
(b) If, after reasonable efforts, a mandated reporter is unable to
submit an initial report by telephone, he or she shall immediately or
as soon as is practicably possible, by fax or electronic transmission,
make a one-time automated written report on the form prescribed by the
Executive Order 1083
Revised July 21, 2017
Attachment A
Page 9 of 14
Department of Justice, and shall also be available to respond to a
telephone followup call by the agency with which he or she filed the
report. A mandated reporter who files a one-time automated written
report because he or she was unable to submit an initial report by
telephone is not required to submit a written followup report.
(1) The one-time automated written report form prescribed by the
Department of Justice shall be clearly identifiable so that it is not
mistaken for a standard written followup report. In addition, the
automated one-time report shall contain a section that allows the
mandated reporter to state the reason the initial telephone call was
not able to be completed. The reason for the submission of the one-
time automated written report in lieu of the procedure prescribed in
subdivision (a) shall be captured in the Child Welfare Services/Case
Management System (CWS/CMS). The department shall work with
stakeholders to modify reporting forms and the CWS/CMS as is necessary
to accommodate the changes enacted by these provisions.
(2) This subdivision shall not become operative until the CWS/CMS is
updated to capture the information prescribed in this subdivision.
(3) This subdivision shall become inoperative three years after this
subdivision becomes operative or on January 1, 2009, whichever occurs
first.
(4) On the inoperative date of these provisions, a report shall be
submitted to the counties and the Legislature by the State Department
of Social Services that reflects the data collected from automated
one-time reports indicating the reasons stated as to why the automated
one-time report was filed in lieu of the initial telephone report.
(5) Nothing in this section shall supersede the requirement that a
mandated reporter first attempt to make a report via telephone, or
that agencies specified in Section 11165.9 accept reports from
mandated reporters and other persons as required.
(c) A mandated reporter who fails to report an incident of known or
reasonably suspected child abuse or neglect as required by this
section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months
confinement in a county jail or by a fine of one thousand dollars
($1,000) or by both that imprisonment and fine. If a mandated reporter
intentionally conceals his or her failure to report an incident known
by the mandated reporter to be abuse or severe neglect under this
section, the failure to report is a continuing offense until an agency
specified in Section 11165.9 discovers the offense.
(d) (1) A clergy member who acquires knowledge or a reasonable
suspicion of child abuse or neglect during a penitential communication
is not subject to subdivision (a). For the purposes of this
subdivision, “penitential communication” means a communication,
intended to be in confidence, including, but not limited to, a
sacramental confession, made to a clergy member who, in the course of
the discipline or practice of his or her church, denomination, or
organization, is authorized or accustomed to hear those
communications, and under the discipline, tenets, customs, or
practices of his or her church, denomination, or organization, has a
duty to keep those communications secret.

(2) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to modify or
limit a clergy member’s duty to report known or suspected child abuse
or neglect when the clergy member is acting in some other capacity
that would otherwise make the clergy member a mandated reporter.
(3) (A) On or before January 1, 2004, a clergy member or any
custodian of records for the clergy member may report to an agency
specified in Section 11165.9 that the clergy member or any custodian
of records for the clergy member, prior to January 1, 1997, in his or
her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her
employment, other than during a penitential communication, acquired
knowledge or had a reasonable suspicion that a child had been the
victim of sexual abuse and that the clergy member or any custodian of
records for the clergy member did not previously report the abuse to
an agency specified in Section 11165.9. The provisions of Section
11172 shall apply to all reports made pursuant to this paragraph.
(B) This paragraph shall apply even if the victim of the known or
suspected abuse has reached the age of majority by the time the
required report is made.
(C) The local law enforcement agency shall have jurisdiction to
investigate any report of child abuse made pursuant to this paragraph
even if the report is made after the victim has reached the age of
majority.
(e) (1) A commercial film, photographic print, or image processor
who has knowledge of or observes, within the scope of his or her
professional capacity or employment, any film, photograph, videotape,

negative, slide, photocopy, videotape, video laser disc, computer
hardware, computer software, computer floppy disk, data storage
medium, CD-ROM, computer-generated equipment, or computer-generated
image depicting a child under 16 years of age engaged in an act of
sexual conduct, shall, immediately or as soon as practicably possible,
telephonically report the instance of suspected abuse to the law
enforcement agency located in the county in which the images are
seen. Within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the
incident, the reporter shall prepare and send, fax, or electronically
transmit a written followup report of the incident with a copy of the
image or material attached.
(2) A commercial computer technician who has knowledge of or
observes, within the scope of his or her professional capacity or
employment, any representation of information, data, or an image,
including, but not limited to, any computer hardware, computer
software, computer file, computer floppy disk, data storage medium,
CD-ROM, computer-generated equipment, or computer-generated image that
is retrievable in perceivable form and that is intentionally saved,
transmitted, or organized on an electronic medium, depicting a child
under 16 years of age engaged in an act of sexual conduct, shall
immediately, or as soon as practicably possible, telephonically report
the instance of suspected abuse to the law enforcement agency located
in the county in which the images or materials are seen. As soon as
Executive Order 1083

practicably possible after receiving the information concerning the
incident, the reporter shall prepare and send, fax, or electronically
transmit a written followup report of the incident with a brief
description of the images or materials.
(3) For purposes of this article, “commercial computer technician”
includes an employee designated by an employer to receive reports
pursuant to an established reporting process authorized by
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (43) of subdivision (a) of Section
11165.7.
(4) As used in this subdivision, “electronic medium” includes, but
is not limited to, a recording, CD-ROM, magnetic disk memory, magnetic
tape memory, CD, DVD, thumbdrive, or any other computer hardware or
media.
(5) As used in this subdivision, “sexual conduct” means any of the
following:
(A) Sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital,
anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or
opposite sex or between humans and animals.

(D) Sadomasochistic abuse for the purpose of sexual stimulation of

(f) Any mandated reporter who knows or reasonably suspects that the
home or institution in which a child resides is unsuitable for the
child because of abuse or neglect of the child shall bring the
condition to the attention of the agency to which, and at the same
time as, he or she makes a report of the abuse or neglect pursuant to
subdivision (a).
(g) Any other person who has knowledge of or observes a child whom
he or she knows or reasonably suspects has been a victim of child
abuse or neglect may report the known or suspected instance of child
abuse or neglect to an agency specified in Section 11165.9. For
purposes of this section, “any other person” includes a mandated
reporter who acts in his or her private capacity and not in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment.
(h) When two or more persons, who are required to report, jointly
have knowledge of a known or suspected instance of child abuse or
neglect, and when there is agreement among them, the telephone report
may be made by a member of the team selected by mutual agreement and a
single report may be made and signed by the selected member of the
reporting team. Any member who has knowledge that the member
designated to report has failed to do so shall thereafter make the
report.
(i) (1) The reporting duties under this section are individual, and
no supervisor or administrator may impede or inhibit the reporting

established provided that they are not inconsistent with this article.
(2) The internal procedures shall not require any employee required
to make reports pursuant to this article to disclose his or her
identity to the employer.
(3) Reporting the information regarding a case of possible child
abuse or neglect to an employer, supervisor, school principal, school

making a mandated report to an agency specified in Section 11165.9.
(j) (1) A county probation or welfare department shall immediately,
or as soon as practicably possible, report by telephone, fax, or
electronic transmission to the law enforcement agency having
jurisdiction over the case, to the agency given the responsibility for
investigation of cases under Section 300 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code, and to the district attorney’s office every known
or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect, as defined in Section
11165.6, except acts or omissions coming within subdivision (b) of
Section 11165.2, or reports made pursuant to Section 11165.13 based on
