Alabama mandated reporters use DHR-FCS-1593 to put in writing a report of suspected child abuse or neglect already made in person or by phone. Its six sections cover the children, others in the home, the persons allegedly responsible, the allegations, other pertinent information and the reporter. Alabama's reporting law, Code of Alabama Sections 26-14-1 through 26-14-13, requires physicians, nurses and other listed professionals to report.
The mandated reporter completes all six sections, signs and dates the form, and names the person, agency and date of the verbal report.

Written Report of Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect
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.

No. DHR asks reporters not to email the form, to make sure it is properly received after the verbal report. Mail or fax it directly to the county Department of Human Resources, using DHR's county contact directory.
Alabama law requires hospitals, clinics, doctors, physicians, surgeons, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, pharmacists, mental health professionals and anyone called on to give a child aid or medical assistance to report suspected abuse or neglect. The form follows a report made in person or by telephone.
