Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse<\/strong>
All College of Wooster employees, including confidential resources, are required to immediately report any knowledge or reasonable suspicion that a minor (someone under 18 years old or under the age of 21 with a developmental disability or physical impairment) is experiencing abuse or neglect based on information shared by the minor, any other individual, or one’s own observations or knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOhio Felony Reporting Requirement<\/strong>
Under Ohio law, all residents of the state, except for people with confidential status, must report felonies to law enforcement. This includes felony sexual misconduct. If you’re reporting a potential felony or crime of violence, the Wooster Policy Department will be contacted. The police department will contact you with resources and information about pressing charges. You may choose if and how to participate in the investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOhio Medical Professional Reporting Requirements<\/strong>
In Ohio, healthcare providers may have a legal duty to notify law enforcement when they believe a patient has suffered serious injuries from a violent crime. Before making a report, the provider must ensure the patient is medically stable and explain that the patient is not required to report the incident or speak with law enforcement. If the patient declines to speak with police, the provider may make a limited report that does not include the patient’s name, providing only the date, approximate time, and general location of the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\nClery Act Reporting<\/strong>
All colleges and universities that receive federal funding, including The College of Wooster, are required to publish an Annual Security Report (ASR). The ASR includes crime statistics for certain federally defined offenses that occur on campus, on property owned or controlled by the College, and in certain off-campus locations associated with College programs. The report does not include the names or other identifying information of those involved in reported incidents. Instead, it provides anonymous statistical information to help inform the campus community about safety and security. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTimely Warnings<\/strong>
A “timely warning” is a campus-wide notification to alert the campus community of a serious or continuing threat on campus. A timely warning issued in response to a report of sexual harassment does not include identifying information about the Complainant. However, it may include identifying information about a Respondent if appropriate. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Reports can be made at any time, by any person, and can be anonymous. A report does not automatically prompt a formal resolution process. There isn’t a time limit for reporting but keep in mind that timely reporting enables the College to provide greater options for support, investigation and resolution.
