The workshop will open up with an overview of the Florida Abuse Hotline that will provide a look into the daily operation, reporting statistics, services provided and the call handling process. The presentation will provide information concerning who is required to report abuse or neglect, what is required of mandated reporters when making a report, what is an acceptable means to locate the victim and identify report acceptance criteria. In addition, the participants will be provided resources on how to obtain mandatory reporter training in their communities.
Participants will be given written copies of the most recent questions posed to the MEAC together with the authorities cited and referred to by the MEAC. The group will then discuss and share their opinions as to what the outcome should be.
This presentation will explore and address issues that come with multiparty mediation, which often require that a mediator conduct multiple simultaneous mediations. These mediations present significantly heightened complex difficulties and conflicts not found in the simple one plaintiff / one defendant mediation.
During this interactive session, attendees will review several factual scenarios, will consider options for handling the scenarios in the most ethical manner, and will rely on MEAC opinions, Mediator Rules, and Florida Statutes for guidance.
