Delaware's Division of Family Services (DFS) accepts reports of suspected child abuse or neglect through an online Reporter Portal as well as its Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line. A clinician can use it after seeing injuries or circumstances suggesting a child is being harmed or is at risk. Each report is reviewed by a DFS supervisor, who decides whether it is investigated, referred to law enforcement or documented.
The reporter completes the whole online report. Delaware's reporting page does not restrict the portal to mandated reporters.

Child Abuse and Neglect Report Online (DSCYF Reporter Portal)
This form is completed online with Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families, Division of Family Services, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.
Vero is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the agencies and insurers listed here. Read our editorial policy.
DFS's guide lists demographics, a description of the abuse or neglect or why the child is at risk, known information about the parents and siblings, the child's physical and mental health and educational issues, whether the child needs medical attention, and anything that could endanger the child or a worker. DFS notes that more information is better than less.
Every report is reviewed by a DFS supervisor. DFS then does one of three things: accepts the report and investigates the allegations, refers it to law enforcement for investigation, or documents the report without investigating. A case accepted for DFS investigation is transferred to an investigation caseworker.
