What should be included in the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Procedures Site Plan?

• A. Procedures for reporting and addressing suspected child abuse and neglect.
• B. A guide to student meal plans.
• C. Budget allocations for counseling.
• D. Employee vacation policies.

Answer: (A)

This item tests what belongs in a Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Procedures Site Plan: a clear, actionable process for reporting and addressing suspected abuse or neglect. The plan should lay out who is responsible for making reports, how reports are made (the channels and required information), and the deadlines for reporting. It should specify how the information is documented and kept confidential, how the school coordinates with outside agencies like Child Protective Services, and what steps follow a report—for example, investigation coordination, safety planning for students, and follow-up actions. It also includes training expectations for staff, roles and responsibilities, and oversight to ensure compliance with laws and district policies.

The other options don’t fit because they address meal planning, budgeting for counseling, or employee vacation policies, which are not part of the mandated reporting procedures.
