What is a consistent required contact in all abuse reports?

1. The witness

2. The accused

3. The victim

4. The reporting party

The correct answer is: The victim

In abuse reports, the consistent required contact is the victim. This is because the victim is the person who has directly experienced the abuse and is therefore the one who can provide the most accurate and firsthand account of what happened. The witness (A) may have seen the abuse occur, but they may not have all the details or may not have been present for the entire incident. The accused (B) would not be a contact in the abuse report because they are the one being accused of the abuse. The reporting party (D) may have reported the abuse, but they may not have direct knowledge or experience of the abuse itself. Therefore, the victim is the most important and consistent required contact in all abuse reports.
