Anyone who believes a child is being abused or neglected can make a report. These reporters are either “mandated” or “non-mandated” reporters. However certain professions are required by law as mandated reporters to file a 51A with DCF if they suspect abuse or neglect. Such professions include: medical, schools and law enforcement.
