Review - Safeguards for Mandated Reporters Those persons legally mandated to report suspected child abuse have immunity from criminal or civil liability for reporting as required, unless the report is proven to be false and the person reporting knows it is false, or the report is made with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the incident (P.C. 11172 [a]). No supervisor or administrator may impede or inhibit a report or subject the reporting person to any sanction (P.C. 11166 [f]). To do so is punishable by imprisonment, a fine, or both. Reports are confidential and may be disclosed only to specified persons and agencies (P.C. 11167.5) Mandated reporters and others acting at their direction are not liable civilly or criminally for photographing the victim and disseminating the photograph with the report (P.C. 11172 [a])
