OYA Staff as Mandatory Reporters
Within its scope of duties, the OYA is committed to protecting the public and, as such, emphasizes public safety and supports the concerns of crime victims. Staff are designated and required, by statute, to be mandatory reporters of instances of suspected child abuse, occurring on the job and in their private lives.   In conjunction with this responsibility, the OYA recognizes that staff carry an additional responsibility to ensure the safety of offenders in its custody.  Whenever abuse is suspected involving an offender under the age of 18, staff will meet the mandatory child abuse reporting requirements. Staff will immediately respond to the safety issues of the offender involved in the situation.   OYA Staff are required to attend annual trainings on Mandatory Reporting.

This message is brought to you by SWLI, the Statewide Safety and Wellness Leadership Initiative.
 
Heavy rains can always be an unwelcome event in Oregon during the fall and winter months. Driving can be treacherous and high water can close some roads. Excess water on roads can increase hydroplaning risk – please, slow down!  Visibility can be limited – keep extra distance between vehicles and take extra care when passing.  Vehicle braking systems may not be the same on all vehicles, so we recommend that you read your vehicle manual.
 
Following is a list of websites that might be of assistance to you during the fall and winter months:
