Georgia DFCS CPS Referral Form for Mandated Reporters

Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) offers mandated reporters an online CPS referral form for suspected child abuse or neglect. A clinician can use it after seeing signs of maltreatment, once they have completed the state's Mandated Reporters training, which provides the access code the form requires. Child Protective Services staff investigate reports to protect the child and strengthen the family.

Who completes it

The mandated reporter completes the whole online referral, entering the access code obtained through Mandated Reporters training.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Submit the referral online on the DFCS CPS site with your access code, or report by phone to DFCS Child Protective Services, which takes reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Immediate emergencies go to 911 or local police.
Who pays
DFCS lists no fee or payment for making a referral.

Good to know

  • The online form cannot be used without the access code issued after completing Georgia's Mandated Reporters training, so finish the training before you need to report.
  • Reporters without an access code use the DFCS Child Protective Services phone line, which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • DFCS links a handout, Questions to Expect When Making a CPS Referral, from its child abuse and neglect page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an access code for Georgia's online CPS referral?

DFCS states that the CPS Referral form for Mandated Reporters requires an access code, obtained by completing the Mandated Reporters training linked from its child abuse and neglect page. Without the code, report by phone to DFCS Child Protective Services, which takes reports 24 hours a day.

When should I call instead of using Georgia's online CPS referral?

Call 911 or local police for an immediate emergency. For other concerns, DFCS takes child abuse and neglect reports by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is also the route for reporters who do not have an online access code.
