Based on recent National guidance our office will only be able to assist you via e-mail until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience you may incur from this.   

Due to the high number of emails please expect 48 hours until you receive a reply.

 

OCYF requests whenever possible mandated reporters use the self-service portal versus calling ChildLine.  ChildLine is fully operational but as we have shifted to a remote workforce, we are asking reporters to use the electronic reporting if possible, to minimize wait times for calls.
