If there is an emergency or imminent threat of harm, call 911 immediately.
If you know or suspect that a child, young person, or vulnerable adult has been abused or is at risk, you are required to act. This applies whether the incident happened recently or in the past, and whether it involves clergy, employees, volunteers, or anyone connected to the Diocese of Bridgeport.
You do not need proof to make a report. Reasonable suspicion is enough. Contact the Diocese of Bridgeport Victim Assistance Coordinator, Erin Neil, LCSW at (203) 650-3265.
