Yes or no? Does the LPC/reporter have to inform the alleged victim of the reporter's duty to report?

  1. YES

  2. NO

The correct answer is: YES

The correct answer is indeed yes. Under Texas law pertaining to Licensed Professional Counselors, there is a specific obligation to inform the alleged victim about the duty to report. This requirement is in place to ensure transparency and to empower the victim. By informing the individual, the LPC provides them with the necessary information regarding what actions will be taken, fostering trust and promoting a sense of agency in situations that may be distressing or traumatic. This duty to communicate the reporting obligation underscores the counselor's role not just as a mandatory reporter but also as an advocate for the victim's awareness and rights. Involving the alleged victim helps them understand the process that follows and may also influence their decisions regarding any further actions they might wish to take.
