Steps for Reporting Child Abuse |

Reporting Child Sexual Abuse and Misconduct
What do you do if you have concerns about possible child sexual abuse?
When a person becomes aware that a child may be or has been abused, there is a legal and ethical responsibility to take action. The legal responsibility comes from child welfare legislation within each province and territory and may also be a duty of a person’s profession or workplace. The responsibility to report means that a person who has knowledge or information that a child is being or is at risk of being abused must report it to someone:
→If the information relates to potential abuse of a child by the child’s parent or guardian, the person must report it to child welfare or police. →If the concern involves potential abuse by any other person, the individual should report it to the child’s parent or guardian and may also be obligated to report it to child welfare and/or police.
In the case that anyone knows or suspects a child is suffering from abuse, including that of a sexual nature, the following information can be helpful.
