Duty to Report
Under the Child and Family Services Act, anyone who believes a child may be in need of protection is required to report their concerns to a child welfare agency.
Community members have a duty to report their concerns in order to help protect children. The Agency does not disclose the identity of the person who provides information. The Agency is required to investigate your concerns and also to report back to you the outcome of their investigation.
