When making a report/notification, advise the Child Abuse Report Line of as much information as possible to support the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL) worker to make an informed assessment.

Mandated reporter/notifiers should use the Notification checklist to ensure they have the correct information ready when making a report/notification to the CARL via telephone or online, noting serious concerns cannot be made online.

It is noted that mandated reporters/notifiers may have additional guidance and procedures available to make a notification in their workplace
