“When any person, in his or her official supervisory capacity with a nonprofit or for-profit organization, has reasonable cause to believe that a minor has suffered abuse or neglect caused by a person over whom he or she regularly exercises supervisory authority, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency, provided that the person alleged to have caused the abuse or neglect is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the organization and coaches, trains, educates, or counsels a minor(s) or regularly has unsupervised access to a minor(s) as part of the employment, contract, or voluntary service.” In other words, volunteers who supervise other volunteers who work with minors are required to report any suspected abuse by others whom they supervise. Sited from RCW (1) (b).
