Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 56
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Mandatory reporting often presumes that a professional is in possession of information about violence caused by a third party with whom she or he has no institutional links. But mandatory reporting is also relevant in cases when acts of violence are committed by a colleague. The United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of Liberty indicate: "Personnel who have reasons to believe that a serious violation of the present Rules has occurred or is about to occur should report the matter to their superior authorities or organs vested with reviewing or remedial power."
Legal status
