Abstract
This study aims at investigating the need for child abuse reporting a system among the professionals at the Child Support Agency. Based on the review of the job characteristics of the child support services and the examples of the child abuse reporting systems in similar agencies in and out of Korea, focus group interviews were conducted with eight professionals from the Child Support Agency. The results showed that they were frequently exposed to suspicious child abuse cases. However, the professions tended not to report the cases due to uncertainty about following the original goal of the service and absence of reporting procedure. The unique needs for a child abuse report process for the professions in the Child Support Agency were discussed in this study.
