# JLF-E (FORM) - SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE, INCLUDING SEXUAL ABUSE, AND NEGLECT REPORT FORM

Any employee of the Cape Elizabeth School Department who suspects that a child has been or is likely to be abused or neglected (the “notifying employee”) must immediately inform a school administrator, the Title IX Coordinator, or the Superintendent. The Superintendent or designee shall immediately make a report by telephone to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and, if appropriate, the District Attorney (DA), and complete this form. A copy should be provided to the notifying employee for signature and returned to the Superintendent. If the notifying employee has not received a copy of the completed form within 24 hours of informing a school administrator, the Title IX Coordinator, or the Superintendent, the employee shall make an immediate report to DHHS and, if appropriate, the DA, complete the form, and give it to the Superintendent.

This form is for school department use only. It is not to be sent to DHHS or the DA (unless requested by those agencies).
