When a CAO worker suspects child abuse, they will immediately tell the Executive Director or delegate. An employee who reports abuse must provide at least the following information:
Name and address of the child.
Name of the suspected abuser.
Evidence on which the belief is based.
The Executive Director or delegate must call Child Line (1-800-932-0313) at once, without deciding whether or not the report is true. The Executive Director or appointed employee must let the employee who reported the information know when the call is made and complete a Report of Suspected Child Abuse (CY 47).
