Subject:Procedures for reporting suspected CAN

New Jersey statutes require that anyone who suspects that a child is a

victim of maltreatment make a report to the appropriate child protective

service. Our IRB therefore requires that we include a statement in

parental consent forms that inform the parents of this. For a project

I'm doing that involves interviews with children (but is not about

maltreatment), the IRB would like me to provide them (the IRB, not the

parents) with a description of a plan for how I will actually report

cases of abuse. Do any of you have procedures that you follow for such

reports? Is there some standard practice for researchers in this type

of situation?



Thanks for whatever assistance you can provide.



Jane
