Childcare agency treats reports of child abuse with confidentiality
The letter in SN of September 22 by Mr Sahadeo Bates captioned ‘Ended up in prison after reporting child abuse’ refers.
The Childcare and Protection Agency in its mandate investigates all reported cases of child abuse. It is the policy of the agency to treat the identity of reporters with the utmost confidentiality so as to avoid reporters being penalized by community members or the alleged perpetrators. If a reporter, however, chooses to reveal their identity to the alleged perpetrators, ensuing conflict between the parties is likely to occur.
