Child protection is one of the cornerstones of social welfare policy. In South Korea, the Child Welfare Act designates human service workers as mandated reporters for suspected child abuse and neglect. However, the law does not provide for any immunity for human service workers acting in good faith who report or assist in the investigation of reported child abuse or neglect. As a result, human service workers remain reluctant to report suspected child abuse and neglect for fear that they may be accused of unexpected consequences. This paper compares the child welfare laws in the United States and South Korea on immunity issues for human service workers involved in reporting or cooperating with a child abuse investigation.
