Who are individuals required to report suspected or observed abuse or neglect due to their regular contact with vulnerable populations?

  1. Adoption Act

  2. Juvenile Court Act

  3. Mandated Reporters

  4. Child Care Act

The correct answer is: Mandated Reporters

Individuals required to report suspected or observed abuse or neglect due to their regular contact with vulnerable populations are known as mandated reporters. Mandated reporters are designated by law to report any signs or suspicions of abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of children. The other options provided in the question, such as Adoption Act, Juvenile Court Act, and Child Care Act, do not specifically outline the responsibilities of individuals in reporting suspected abuse or neglect.
