When a child discloses any kind of abuse, be it physical, sexual or emotional, Chimo has a LEGAL duty to report it to the Ministry. No matter what the situation is, you are obligated to report. Once the report has been made, the ministry will make the decision in the best interest of the child. Understand that your report may be the only thing that protects the child from further abuse. 

 

Chimo and GBC Safesport Policies all include information on obligatory reporting. It is also stated in our codes of conduct, that it must be reported. The following is from the GBC Complaint Management Handbook
