Reporting Child Abuse

To report suspected child abuse and neglect in a child care facility, please call the statewide, 24/7 abuse/neglect hotline number for reporting at 1-888-CARE-4-US (1-888-227-3487). Non-emergency reports of abuse or neglect can be made via the SCDSS webpage at www.dss.sc.gov.

Reviewing a Provider’s Status

All licensing deficiencies are posted on the provider’s page if they are regulated by DSS. You can use the search for Child Care Providers by the child care provider’s name to see any deficiencies they might have.
