*NON-CONFIDENTIAL RESOURCES
As it relates to potential harm, the majority of University of California staff are considered responsible employees or mandated reporters and may be required by law to report crimes against children or dependent adults and elders to law enforcement or social services authorities. Employees with such an obligation are generally referred to as being "Mandated Reporters" under California's Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA). Included in mandatory reporting policies are incidents of harassment and discrimination based on UC Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment and Title IX.
