Immediately inform your administrator or his/her designee of your concerns.
No one
has the authority to veto
the reporting.

If it is necessary for school personnel to examine a student for evidence of physical abuse, two adults should be
present during the examination and the examination should follow the "gym class rule." Only examine the areas
that can be seen if the child were wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Do not examine the child any further.

Complete the Known or Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect/Endangerment Reporting Form.

Call Larimer County Department of Human Services at
