Will my name be revealed if I make a referral?
Those who report abuse or neglect are protected by confidentiality laws within the Child Protective Service Law. When cases of physical abuse and/or sexual abuse are reported to the agency, the agency must report these to law enforcement. Law enforcement officers are also expected to treat the referral source as confidential. In certain instances, referral sources may become witnesses in court proceedings
