An examination of factors influencing teachers' compliance/noncompliance with the Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act

"In 1973, teachers were mandated by the Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) to report ""reasonable causes to believe"" abuse and neglect has occurred to students with whom they come in contact. Yet, there are a number of incidents in which suspected abuse and neglect by teachers go unreported each year. These situations constitute instances of noncompliance with the ANCRA. Local written school policies reflect the ANCRA directives and act a guide to teachers in their decisions to report abuse and neglect."
