Reporters of Child Abuse

Reporters of child abuse are individuals, such as teachers, doctors, social workers, or community members, who notice signs that a child may be harmed or neglected and are legally required to report their concerns to authorities. This process helps protect children from ongoing harm, ensuring professionals can investigate and provide support or intervention if needed. Reporting is a vital step in safeguarding children’s well-being and ensuring their safety, often guided by laws that prioritize the child's best interests while maintaining confidentiality.
