If I call, will my name be given to the people I am calling about?
No. The law protects the confidentiality of referral sources. Callers may remain confidential in all child abuse referrals regardless of their relationship to the family. Most callers may remain confidential in other reports with the exception of callers who are making allegations against a current spouse, and ex-spouse, or a paramour with who the caller has children.

School staff reporting chronic truancy of a youngster will most likely have told the parents they are planning to make the report. We never disclose or confirm confidential referral sources.
