Further supporting the decision to not report the condition of the child's home was the public health worker's interpretation of state statute that governs mandated reporting for suspected child abuse and neglect. She did not believe that the conditions met the threshold to report. The public health worker's understanding of state statute was influenced by the subjective statutory language within 626.556 Subd. 3(a) that states \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Has reason to believe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a child is being neglected and\/or abused.\r\n\r\nThe public health worker's interpretation of state statute was impacted by their awareness of where to access available trainings within the agency. Quality and consistency of these trainings also varied, further supporting her reason to not seek them out. Per state statute, local agencies are responsible for providing mandated reporter training within their agency; however, multiple competing priorities, such as the need to get day-to-day work done to serve clients and to fulfill their job duties can make this statutory requirement burdensome for the local agency.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:51:07 pm","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:51:07 pm","id":35282}
