Appealing a DHS Founded Finding in Colorado

DHS founded findings can have significant consequences, especially for people who work in childcare or schools. All childcare centers and schools are required to run background checks, including a check of the child abuse and neglect registry (TRAILS). If you have received notice that you have a DHS founded finding against you, you have the right to appeal that finding.
