22VAC40-61-120. Reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation
 

The center shall notify [ the participant and ] the participant's contact person or legal representative when a report is made as referenced in subsection A of this section, without identifying any confidential information [ unless such notification would jeopardize the participant].

As mandated reporters, we are not expected to notify families that we made a report.  Although it seems this is covered with "unless such notification would jeopardize the participant," this may prevent people from feeling safe to report.
