This literature snapshot draws on international literature, largely from Australia, and focuses on the following aspects of mandatory reporting:
•the benefits it might bring to maltreated children
•consequences for child protection agencies
•the behaviour of mandated reporters. (from the website)
This literature snapshot is one of a number of time-limited research scans commissioned by Child, Family and Community Policy to inform the development of the White Paper for Vulnerable Children. The snapshot provides a narrative review of literature that focuses on a general topic of interest. It does not seek to weigh up a body of focused scholarship in order to make a definitive judgement about the strength of evidence in support of particular programmes and practices.
The information in this snapshot is limited to a single literature search across reputable online information sources, government websites and other printed materials. (from the document)
