The main difference between mandatory reporters in a community setting and mandatory reporters in a program and facility setting is that mandatory reporters in a program and facility setting are staff members of a facility or program, while mandatory reporters in a community setting are typically not affiliated with any specific program or facility.

Mandatory reporters in a community setting are often professionals such as teachers, childcare providers, or law enforcement officers, who are required by law to report suspected cases of abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities. They may not need to witness the abuse directly to make a report.

On the other hand, mandatory reporters in a program and facility setting are usually staff members of a specific program or facility, such as a hospital or nursing home, and they are required to report suspected cases of abuse or neglect that occur within the context of their program or facility. They may also be healthcare professionals, but this is not always the case.
