while reports are generally confidential, materials
may "be released . . . and be made available [to
the] subject of the report upon written request
[or a] person, agency or institution, upon written
consent of all subjects of the report[.]"1 Relatedly,
55 Pa. Code § 3490.104 states that "Upon written
request to a county agency or ChildLine, a subject
of a report may receive at any time a copy of the
reports filed with the county agency and ChildLine
[and] - [u]pon written request, a defendant in a
criminal proceeding is entitled to the child abuse
information in the possession of a county agency in
accordance with applicable law." Additionally, 23
Pa.C.S.A. § 6340(b) provides that "[u]pon a written
request, a subject of a report may receive a copy
of all information, except that prohibited from
being disclosed by subsection (c), contained in the
Statewide database or in any report filed pursuant
to § 6313 (relating to reporting procedure)."
