Abstract
Mandatory reporting legislation is designed to clarify when to report and ensure that all cases of child maltreatment are reported. However, while mandated reporting is well meaning and in the public interest, many practical difficulties for health care professionals and families reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, Ontario mandatory reporting legislation is falling short of its purpose of eliminating underreporting to protect children. This paper outlines this problem and offers some potential solutions.
