DCS will request that you provide basic health information about your child and provide a copy of your child's Social Security card and health insurance card. Home visit: A home visit will be scheduled. The purpose of the home visit is to obtain information to assess the strengths and needs of the child and family.

877-237-0004 Our trained case managers will guide Hotline callers through a series of questions. Callers do not have to know all the details of the abuse or neglect.

A social worker will go and talk to the parent or carer to find out if the information you gave them is true, and whether the family needs any help or support. They will also want to see the child and talk to the child alone (if they are old enough to understand).
