Check a concern
Enter the reference and code you were given when you filed your report. If you no longer have them we cannot recover them — nobody here can, by design — but you are welcome to file again.
You can also report outside the company
You are never required to tell us first, or at all. If you would rather raise this with someone independent — or you have told us and nothing happened — these are the people to contact. Reporting to them is your right, and we will not treat you differently for using it.
If a child is in immediate danger
Call 911.
Do this first and tell us afterwards. Nothing on this page should delay that call.
Suspected child abuse or neglect
In Washington, one statewide line takes every report, 24 hours a day. California has no statewide number — you report to the county where the child lives.
If you are punished for speaking up
Retaliation — being fired, given fewer shifts, demoted or harassed because you raised a concern — is illegal, and these agencies enforce that. Both states give you six months from the retaliation to file, so do not sit on it while you wait for us.
If your concern involves a licensed child care facility
These two lines regulate licensed child care centres and family child care homes. Care in a family's own home is usually not licensed, so they may direct you elsewhere — but they are the right call if a licensed facility is involved.
