What I would do if I suspect child abuse or neglect, first ensure the child’s immediate safety and then report my concerns to the appropriate local child welfare agency or call child abuse hotline. It’s important to document any signs or symptoms you observe and provide as much detail as possible when making the report.

first write down what I observed immediately to make sure I am documenting objective facts, then discuss with the supervisor to confirm policies in place for the proceeding steps. some situations may require more investigation before becoming a report, for an example if I were to notice an average bruise on a child’s arm I may ask the child how they feel or what happened to get a sense of where it came from, the bruise was the red flag indicator to be observant and the following response will get added to the objective notes to review with a supervisor before proceeding with a possible report. in a case where the child is observably unsafe, unhealthy due to neglect, I would urge to act quickly with reporting and discuss with the supervisor an immediate plan of support for the child.
