To be read and signed by Mandated Reporter:
In accordance with the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, the identity of any person making a report of suspected child
abuse or neglect shall not be disclosed, without the consent of the individual, to anyone other than a court of competent jurisdiction, employees of an
Indian tribe, State, or the Federal Government who need to know the information in order to perform their duties.
By signing this agreement, I understand that:
1.
Confidentiality means that I cannot discuss any matter pertaining to any child abuse or neglect case, except as allowed by law. Pursuant to
§552a of Title 5, United States Code, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 USC 1232g), or any other provision of law,
agencies of any Indian tribe, of any State, or of the Federal government that investigate and treat incidents of child abuse may provide
information and records to those agencies of any Indian Tribe, State, or any Federal Government that need to know the information in
order to perform their duties. For purposes of this section, Indian tribal government shall be treated the same as other Federal Government
entities.
2.
The legal requirements of confidentiality mean that I cannot discuss any matter pertaining to the Suspected Child Abuse and/or Neglect
Report I completed on this date with any member of my family, including parents, children, spouse, aunts, uncles, cousins, any school staff
or with another person unless they are allowed access to such information by law.
3.
If I do not keep substantiated and/or unsubstantiated child abuse and/or neglect cases confidential, I may be subject to disciplinary action
up to and including termination of my job as allowed by tribal or federal law or BIE policies and procedures.
