CTB Temps Status - Life Stories Cooperating Team Agreements for 2018-19 and
2019-20
Life Stories Cooperating Team Agreement 18-19 updated 9.29.20.pdf; Life Stories
Cooperating Team Agreement 19-20 updated 9.29.20.pdf
I have attached the 2018-19 (Tyler ID 2019-0785) and 2019-20 (Tyler ID 2019-5139) Life Stories Cooperating Team
Agreements. These were among the CTB Temp documents we have been attempting to track down. These are still not
completely signed but Life Stories provided the explanation below so these are the most complete versions we can
obtain. Life Stories has changed their process going forward so this should not be an issue in the future. (As a side note
to Gwen's comments below (highlighted in yellow), the version attached for 2018-2019 does include Nunn, Eaton and
Hudson as they found misfiled signatures after she sent the email below.)
Hi Tobi,
I am enclosing two updated copies in case I missed anything earlier. The problem is that we did not always get all
of the signatures, and sometimes by the time we received them, we were into the next year. We were chasing
signatures to try and get them on the same page, or we were asking chiefs to sign and scan and send to us. We
obviously did not get everyone accounted for. To solve that problem, we started using Doc -U -Sign for 19/20, but
this last year we still had problems getting Severance and Hudson. We resent the request one more time today
and 1 will update if we get either or both.
We hope to have everyone used to the new Doc -u -Sign system this year and have 100% in 20/21.
Let me know if that will wrrk,
Gwen

FR: Judy A. Griego, Director, Human Services
RE: Life Stories Child Advocacy Center Cooperating
Team Member Agreement
Please review and indicate if you would like a work session prior to placing this item on the
Board's agenda.
Request Board Approval for Director's Signature on the 2019-20 Life Stories Child
Advocacy Center Cooperating Team Member Agreement. This cooperative agreement is
between Life Stories, the Department of Human Services, and various other medical and
investigative entities, all members of the multidisciplinary team. The purpose of the agreement
is to enhance the ability of agencies, organizations, and individuals to implement coordinated
efforts in investigation of child abuse and neglect and support the interviewing of victims of
severe child abuse/neglect at the time of incident. Life Stories takes a trauma informed approach
as an agency, collaborating with the multidisciplinary team, which ultimately supports the child
and the family through the investigation, in a kid friendly environment.
I do not recommend a Work Session. I recommend approval for the Director to sign this
Cooperative Team Member Agreement.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A486B006-38CFr42D1-9400-373924C48ACA
• Coordination of monthly case review staffings for the District Attorney's Office.
THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between the agencies and individuals involved in Life
Stories:
The purpose of this agreement is to enhance the ability of agencies, organizations, and
individuals to implement coordinated efforts in investigation of child abuse and neglect.
Adherence to these policies and procedures should not be construed as a creation of a
higher level standard of safety or care with respect to any civil claim or criminal matter.
Therefore, it is acknowledged that the UNDERSIGNED participating agencies and individuals
agree to the following philosophical and policy statements supporting Life Stories:
We recognize the trauma that occurs to children and families involved in child abuse and
neglect. In order to reduce that trauma, Life Stories and key members of the
multidisciplinary team have developed a cooperative team approach to conducting child
abuse and neglect investigations.
To facilitate this team approach, Life Stories enhances the cooperation and coordination of
those involved in the protection of children. Life Stories offers a safe, child focused
environment to centralize the investigation and prosecution efforts for child victims of
abuse.
Each of the undersigned agencies and individuals has specific responsibilities for the
protection of victims and the investigation of child abuse which are outlined in their
individual policy and procedures and any joint agreements among team members. Use of
Life Stories does not alter specific role responsibilities.
We believe that by functioning as a multi -disciplinary team, we are providing Weld County
children and families with a more positive approach that is effective in the timely resolution
of specific cases and the ultimate resolution of the larger social issue.
All parties are responsible for adhering to the Colorado Children's Code and the Colorado
Criminal Statutes.
All parties understand that this agreement, in no way, shall be construed to:
• limit law enforcement's authority to investigate reports of child abuse and
neglect;
• limit the Department of Human Services authority to assess, respond, and
investigate reports of child abuse and neglect nor limit DHS authority to make all
subsequent decisions on behalf of children placed in protective custody;
• dictate medical practitioner's procedures for medical examinations or limit their
authority or responsibility for medical care.
Life Stories Child Advocacy Center
Cooperating Team Agreement 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: C609D993-E9EE-4519-F =O2776DA99DF
Therefore, to better protect and serve the children of Weld County, we agree to support the
concept, philosophy, policies, procedures and continued development of Life Stories Child
Advocacy Center. Members of Life Stories multidisciplinary team agree to:
• Utilize Life Stories for at least 75% of the interviews of child victims of sexual
abuse, ages 2.5 to 17 years of age. Life Stories will be further utilized for severe
physical abuse, severe neglect and witnesses to crime for children 2.5 to 17 years
of age, as appropriate. Life Stories will also interview 18 year olds and adults with
developmental delays and special needs as determined by the forensic
interviewer and the investigating parties. No suspected perpetrators are allowed
at Life Stories. If a juvenile is a suspect and a victim, the juvenile will only be
interviewed at Life Stories as a victim at which time no other children are
allowed in the Child Advocacy Center.
• Review Life Stories Policies and Procedures and be signatories on the
Cooperating Team Agreement;
• Send investigators to attend monthly Case Review staffings with the District
Attorney's Office.
