The Ombudsmen are mandated reporters and it is their legal obligation to immediately report all child abuse allegations to the New York Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR). If the SCR accepts the complaint, the matter is referred to the Institutional Abuse Bureau which conducts the investigation.
