  1. Mandatory Reporting, Canada • There is mandatory reporting in the community and in institutions which varies across provinces and territories; • There are three approaches to reporting: • Mandatory reporting • Voluntary reporting • No reporting requirements

  2. No Extant Evidence in Canada • Most recent study: • Public Opinion on Mandatory Reporting of Abuse and/or Neglect of Older Adults in Manitoba, Canada (JEAN) K. STIEBER ROGER & J. Ursel (2009). Findings: • Older respondents stated that mandatory reporting was not always preferable, except when the person was incompetent or thought to be at risk. • With less awareness of the topic in general, and with less contact with older adults, younger adults had much stronger views in support of mandatory reporting in all cases. • Little knowledge and awareness of legislation existed in all age groups, although older adults knew more about such abuse and/or neglect than younger adults
