Recognizing and reporting abuse
It takes the whole community to protect our children.
Reporting suspected child abuse or neglect is easy to do and can save a life.
In Santa Barbara County, call the Child Welfare Services hotline at (800) 367-0166 and someone will walk you through making a report. CWS and the police will work together to ensure the child’s safety. Removing a child from their home is always a last resort, and in many cases, families will be given the help they need to keep their child safe in their own home.
No one will be denied access to services at calm due to inability to pay.
Care is provided at little or no cost, with a sliding scale fee available based on each family’s circumstances.
