Immunity of Reporter

Answer: 

Mandated reporters have immunity from criminal or civil liability for reporting as required or authorized by law.

The identity of a mandated reporter is confidential and disclosed only among agencies receiving or investigating reports and other designated agencies. Reports are confidential and may be re-disclosed only to specified persons and agencies.

Any violation of confidentiality provided by CANRA is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment, fine or both.
