Written Report Form for Mandated Reporters of Child Abuse/Neglect
I understand that I am making a report of child abuse and/or neglect in good faith and in accordance with the Louisiana
Children’s Code, Article 610 D. which requires me, as a mandated reporter, to send a written report to the Department
of Children and Family Services (DCFS) or law enforcement within five days of having made an initial oral report. I
understand that I may report suspected abuse and/or neglect in writing instead of an oral report.
Use: This form is available for you to use to make a written report of child abuse and/or neglect to DCFS or law
enforcement. If you are unable to print out the form, contact any DCFS parish or regional office and one will be sent to
you.
Completion: Complete each item with information known by you that may be pertinent to the suspected
abuse/neglect. If there are items for which you have no information, please complete with “Unknown”. It is not
necessary for you to try and get all information requested. If you need more space, please add a page. Once
completed, it may be printed out and mailed or faxed to the DCFS office for the parish where the child lives or where
you made the report. The local offices, addresses and fax numbers are on this web site ( ). If you have
not yet made a report to DCFS, please fax this form as soon as possible. Thank you for your interest and
commitment to the safety and well being of children.
