<DIV>"The Plan" I usually follow is to make direct contact with a DHS worker I'm 
familiar with.&nbsp; They hold a meeting to relay concerns and followup with a 
course of action applicable to the situation.&nbsp; Sometimes I may be the 
anonomous caller, but those are usually cases outside this transitional 
home.&nbsp; Hope this is helpful to you.&nbsp; Becky/Director</DIV>

  suspected CAN</DIV>
  <DIV><BR></DIV>New Jersey statutes require that anyone who suspects that a 
  child is a <BR>victim of maltreatment make a report to the appropriate child 
  protective <BR>service.&nbsp; Our IRB therefore requires that we include a 
  statement in <BR>parental consent forms that inform the parents of this.&nbsp; 
  For a project <BR>I'm doing that involves interviews with children (but is not 
  about <BR>maltreatment), the IRB would like me to provide them (the IRB, not 
  the <BR>parents) with a description of a plan for how I will actually report 
  <BR>cases of abuse.&nbsp; Do any of you have procedures that you follow for 
  such <BR>reports?&nbsp; Is there some standard practice for researchers in 
  this type <BR>of situation?<BR><BR>Thanks for whatever assistance you can 
  provide.<BR><BR>Jane<BR><BR>_________________________________________________<BR><BR><BR>Jane
