Which of the following is a mandate for reporting by CPSWs?

The mandate for reporting by Certified Peer Support Workers (CPSWs) specifically includes any reason to believe there is child abuse or neglect. This is rooted in legal and ethical obligations that aim to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations, particularly children.

CPSWs play a critical role in supporting individuals on their recovery journey, and part of that role involves safeguarding those who might be at risk of harm. When a CPSW suspects or has credible information regarding potential child abuse or neglect, they are required to take action by reporting this information to the appropriate authorities. This obligation is essential for protecting children and is supported by laws that exist across various jurisdictions.

The other options, while they may involve important aspects of a CPSW’s role, do not fall under a mandated reporting requirement. Suspicious behavior in the workplace, client dissatisfaction with services, and a client's failures in their recovery process are concerns that may require attention or intervention from a supervisor or therapist, but they do not carry the same legal requirement to report as suspected child abuse or neglect does.
