Why is it unnecessary to confirm the truth of an allegation before reporting?

The key reason for reporting an allegation without needing to confirm its truth lies in the responsibility assigned to appropriate authorities to conduct thorough investigations. When an allegation is reported, it allows trained professionals, often with the expertise in handling such matters, to assess the situation objectively and gather evidence. This process ensures that any action taken is based on facts, not assumptions or personal judgments.

By requiring that allegations be reported without prior verification, the system encourages individuals to come forward without fear of being responsible for validating a claim. This approach fosters a safer environment where potential issues can be brought to light, allowing designated authorities to take the necessary steps to investigate and determine the veracity of the claims based on a comprehensive evaluation.
