I had made the mistake of putting the 16-17 title page with the 17- 18 agreement. I updated the file name but not eh title page. I am sorry for that confusion. The signature pages were I believe were all the same. I am enclosing the full array of signature pages and made sure at least one signature was O I 103 1 0063"- 0059 HR0Og'9 there. Some are duplicated due to the way we get them returned. Due to logistics, we never received Mead, Hudson or Eaton. We will make additional attempts to obtain those in the 18-19 process. Let me know if you need me to do anything else and again, I apologize for any confusion! Have a good holiday.

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.
