DC Child Protection Register (CPR) Check Request Instructions
THIS FORM IS ONLY FOR USE BY DCPS AND PCS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS, STUDENT
TEACHERS, COACHES AND OTHERS WORKING IN THE DISTRICT’S TRADITIONAL AND CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Authorized individuals may request CPR background checks to establish whether an individual has a record of
substantiated abuse or neglect of a child. A CPR check is a civil, not criminal, records check. CPR results are NOT part
of any national registries and must be checked separately in each jurisdiction where the applicant lived or worked.
This application may be used only to determine if abuse or neglect of a child occurred in the District of Columbia.
