A Mandated Reporter will complete the “Electronic Report of Non-Emergent Child Abuse or Neglect” PDF.
It is important to read the document and provide as much detail as you have regarding the demographics and the incident. Upon completion, that PDF should be sent as an attachment to referral@ct.gov. Upon submission, the sender will receive a confirmation of receipt email. The DCF Careline will review the information provided, and as is done with oral reports, will determine acceptance status and response time. Electronic Reports will be received Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. to accommodate school personnel. As a Mandated Reporter, once such a decision is made on your referral as a Mandated Reporter, you will receive an email (Mandated Reporter letter) with the acceptance status.
