The Office of the Colorado's Child Protection Ombudsman is designed to ensure Colorado's complex child protection system consistently provides high quality services to children and families in all 64 counties. We are independent from the state and county agencies that work on behalf of children and families. We exist to listen to citizens about their experience with and concerns about child protection, research, and investigate those concerns, and determine the best way to resolve each concern. Our work also allows us to collaborate with lawmakers, professionals and other stakeholders to advance and policies that will have a lasting, positive impact on our children and families.
