A mandated reporter is a person who has reason to believe that a vulnerable adult or minor is being or has been maltreated, or who has knowledge that a vulnerable adult or minor has sustained a physical injury which is not reasonably explained. A vulnerable adult or minor is a person who because of physical or mental disability or dependency on institutional services, is particularly vulnerable to maltreatment. A "Mandated Reporter" means a professional or professional's delegate while engaged in: 1) social services; 2) law enforcement; 3) education: 4) the care of vulnerable adults or minors; 5) any of the occupations referred to in section , subdivision 2; 6) an employee of a rehabilitation facility certified by the commissioner of jobs and training for vocational rehabilitation; 7) an employee or person providing services in a facility as defined in subdivision 6; or 8) a person that performs the duties of the medical examiner or coroner. Every employee of ProAct, Inc. is required to report all observed or suspected maltreatment of a person served, and thus is considered to be a "Mandated Reporter". All persons served by ProAct, Inc. are "categorical vulnerable adults/minors". Reports shall be made immediately (within 24 hours) orally by telephone or otherwise, to the Common Entry Point, (in Goodhue County this is the intake worker at the Goodhue County Social Services office, which is open Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30, ; after hours: Sheriff s Department: ; Wabasha County: WHEN ARE REPORTS NOT REQUIRED TO THE COMMON ENTRY POINT?

There is verbal or physical aggression which occurs between patients/residents/clients of a facility, or self-abusive behaviors by these persons, UNLESS the behavior causes serious harm. Documentation of these incidents of aggression and/or self-abusive behavior must be maintained for review by licensing agencies and county adult protection agencies. 3.

The review and investigation must include: an evaluation of whether related policies and procedures were followed, whether the policies and procedures were adequate, whether there is a need for further staff training, whether the reported event is similar to past events with the vulnerable adults or minors or the services involved, and whether there is a need for corrective action to be taken by the facility to protect the health and safety of vulnerable adults or minors. 1.
