Under Colorado law nearly 40 different professions are required to report cases of child abuse and neglect. However, many people in these professions have reported not receiving the proper training on mandatory reporting. To find out if you are in one of the professions that is required to report, see the list posted at the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS)’s website. If you find your profession in this list and feel that you need additional training, you can access a free online training course from CDHS.
