FOR PROFESSIONALS

Templates and Reporting Forms

Healthcare, social workers, teachers, and support staff

If you are a professional working with children, adolescents, or families, and you become aware of a situation involving suspected or confirmed child abuse or neglect, you have a duty of care to report it safely and appropriately.

To support you in this process, Monarch Health Centers has created a Child Protection Reporting Template that you can use to document and report concerns clearly and confidentially.

Download the Reporting Template (PDF)

This template is designed to help you:

Record essential details accurately and objectively
Maintain confidentiality while protecting the child's identity
Communicate concerns to the appropriate safeguarding authority or support service

Note: This resource is intended as a professional tool and should be used in accordance with your organization's child protection policies and UAE federal safeguarding laws.
