Test what you have learned

Question 1 of 30

What should you do if a student tells you something that makes you suspect abuse at home?

• Wait until you have proof: without certainty, reporting could amount to a false report.
• Report it immediately to the corresponding authority: a reasonable suspicion is enough, and the law protects whoever reports.
• Speak to the family first to confirm the account before involving anyone else.
• Note it in the student’s file and wait to see whether the situation happens again.
