Child, Family and Community Service Act. (CFCSA) requires every person to report promptly to a child protection social worker when they have reason to believe a child needs protection as set out in the following circumstances • if the child has been or is likely to be physically harmed, sexually abused or sexually exploited by a parent or other person and the parent is unwilling or unable to protect the child. • if the child has been or is likely to be physically harmed because of neglect by the child’s parent • if the child has been emotionally harmed by the parent’s conduct • if the child is deprived of necessary health care • if the child’s development is likely to be seriously impaired by a treatable condition and the child’s parent refuses to provide or consent to treatment • if the child’s parent is unable or unwilling to care for the child and has not made adequate provision for the child’s care • if the child is or has been absent from home in circumstances that endanger the child’s safety or well-being • if the child’s parent is dead and adequate provision has not been made for the child’s care • if the child has been abandoned and adequate provision has not been made for the child’s care The legal duty to report is the responsibility of each individual. Any person, including school employees and police officers, with reason to believe that a child needs protection has a duty to report directly to a child protection social worker. Informing another person, e.g., a colleague or a supervisor does not discharge the legal duty to report directly to a child protection social worker. Where two or more persons each have reason to believe a child needs protection, it is acceptable for them to report by way of a joint conference call to a child protection social worker. .
