when dealing with child protection you have to report the facts that you observe or hear - for example you may think there is an issue because you notice a child has bruises in strange places - inner elbow - or appears frightened or withdrawn when a certain person picks them up you can't raise a child protection issue based on your opinion - you think the parent might be hurting their child because they are rude or aggressive. as long as you feel you have evidence to support it you report it.
