 | | By law, 29 named professionals (this number increases to 38 on July 1, 2002, the effective date of PA 02-138) and paid childcare providers working in licensed facilities are required to report suspected abuse, neglect, and at-risk situations to DCF. |
 | | DCF offers training sessions to these mandated reporters on such matters as recognizing abuse and neglect, what must be reported, how to report it, anonymity, and immunity and penalties. |
 | | Nine of the professionals required to report child abuse or neglect have laws protecting all or certain communications from disclosure. |
