Non-emergent refers to a situation that is not critical, life threatening or in need of immediate attention.

At this time, ORCA is only available to mandated reporters. A mandated reporter is one who is legally required to report any known or reasonable suspicion of child abuse or neglect they learn about in their professional capacity. For a list of professions considered mandated reporters, you may wish to see California Code, PEN 11165.7. For a deeper explanation of mandated reporters’ rights and responsibilities, please visit California Code, PEN 11166.

For mandated reporters, please sign in/sign up to submit a report. This online report fulfills your duty as a mandated reporter, and you are not required to submit a separate Suspected Child Abuse Report (SCAR) form (BCIA 8572).

If you are not a mandated reporter, your report is still important - please call our Child Abuse and Neglect hotline at 833-SCC-KIDS (833-722-5437) to make your report.
