Mandated Reporters for Suspected Child Abuse or Neglect
Did you know that effective July 1, 2027, youth and school athletic coaches across Virginia are now legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect under an update to the Code of Virginia?
The change adds coaches to the list of mandated reporters. Mandated reporters include individuals who are required by law to notify authorities when they have reason to suspect a child is being abused or neglected. If child abuse or neglect is suspected, mandated reporters must report their concerns immediately to the appropriate child protective services agency. Child Protective Services reports can be made to the Gloucester Department of Social Services at (804) 693-2671 or the Virginia Department of Social Services Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at (804) 552-7096. For additional information, mandated reporter training and educational materials can be accessed through the Virginia Department of Social Services website or by contacting the Gloucester Department of Social Services.
