SUMMARY:Open Office Hour Two: SB 25-151 Physical Infrastructure Survey Report
DESCRIPTION:On July 1\, 2026\, the CPO published the results of a statewide survey of residential child care facilities in Colorado examining the use of physical infrastructure to prevent youth from running away from out-of-home care. In accordance with Senate Bill 25-151\, the survey gathered input from facility leaders throughout the state on the types of infrastructure their facilities currently have in place\, their assessment of whether that infrastructure is effective at preventing runs and their perspectives on additional infrastructure needs. \nThe CPO is hosting two open calls to discuss the report and answer any questions regarding the methodology or information in the report. The second call will be held from 11 a.m. to 22 p.m. on Tuesday\, August 4\, 2026. \nThis meeting will be held via Zoom. The link and Zoom information are provided below. This meeting will be recorded and posted to the CPO’s website for others to review. \nZoom information: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86599036994?pwd=TqBaemLK5YqkUKKbsb9n4abDb4Gbf6.1 \nMeeting chat link\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/jc/86599036994 \nView meeting insights\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=2c41e463-6b02-44f6-9470-e1bf2cb93170 \nMeeting ID: 865 9903 6994\nPasscode: 948153 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,86599036994#\,\,\,\,*948153# US (New York)\n+16469313860\,\,86599036994#\,\,\,\,*948153# US

SUMMARY:Office Hours: Facility Physical Infrastructure Survey
DESCRIPTION:On October 1\, 2024\, the Timothy Montoya Task Force to Prevent Children and Youth from Running Away from Out-of-home Placements\, published its final report. In that report\, the task force issues a recommendation to conduct an assessment of the physical infrastructure needs of residential child care facilities. Specifically\, the task force recommended: \n“The Colorado General Assembly should fund a statewide assessment of additional physical infrastructure within residential facilities to help prevent children and youth from running from out of-home care. This study should include the use of delayed locks\, fencing and alarms. Funding should also be provided for the implementation of these mechanisms\, if the study finds their use to be appropriate.” \nIn response to that recommendation\, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 25-151 – Measures to Prevent Youth from Running Away. One of the requirements of this bill was for the Office of the Colorado Child Protection Ombudsman to conduct a statewide inventory survey of the physical infrastructure of residential child care facilities in place to deter children and youth from running away. \nThe CPO will distribute the survey to applicable facilities on April 1\, 2026. During the month of April\, the CPO will be hosting virtual office hour sessions during which members of the CPO team will be available to answer any questions about the survey. \nThe meeting will be held via Zoom and recorded. Zoom information is provided below. \nZoom Information: \nTopic: Office Hours: Facility Physical Infrastructure Survey\nTime: Apr 29\, 2026 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81989626659?pwd=ahBPggbIXfTq9w7cOAgp6uAVH4gqjO.1 \nMeeting ID: 819 8962 6659\nPasscode: 730037 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+17193594580\,\,81989626659#\,\,\,\,*730037# US\n+12532158782\,\,81989626659#\,\,\,\,*730037# US (Tacoma) \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/81989626659/invitations?signature=t8zMZPJJguvImkl3TqQkYzS7cXocNZccgHZddR9n92U \n

SUMMARY:Session Two: Colorado Facilities Listening Tour
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nThe Office of the Colorado Child Protection Ombudsman (CPO) is starting efforts to implement two newly enacted laws that will require a collaboration and partnership between the CPO and the state’s residential child care community. Both laws (detailed below) require the CPO to implement new programing in Colorado. To do this effectively\, the CPO will be launching a listening tour to learn from those with experience in this community. \nThe CPO is hosting two virtual listening tour sessions designed specifically for staff and facility leaders. These sessions are an opportunity for these individuals to share their insights\, priorities and suggestions about how the CPO may best carry out its responsibilities in a way that supports the work of these facilities and the youth they serve. \nThis session is the second of two scheduled listening tours. Zoom information is provided below. \nAbout the Legislation:  \nHouse Bill 25-1200: Modifications to the Office of the Child Protection Ombudsman \n\nThis new law authorizes the CPO to visit youth and young people in facilities to hear any concerns they may have with their care or treatment. These visits must be scheduled in collaboration with facility leadership\, may not be unannounced and can be requested by the resident themself or by somebody on their behalf. Facilities must provide a private\, confidential space for these meetings\, which may occur either in person or virtually.\nThe CPO will supply outreach materials explaining how youth can contact the office or file a complaint. Facilities must display these materials in a visible location and work with the CPO to offer educational sessions to residents about their rights and the CPO’s services.\nEach facility will develop a Memorandum of Understanding with the CPO regarding these provisions.\nThe full text of this bill may be found here\, and a fact sheet summarizing the bill may be found here.\n\nSenate Bill 25-151: Measures to Prevent Youth from Running Away \n\nThis new law requires the CPO to conduct a statewide survey about physical infrastructure that prevents youth and young people from running away from facilities. It will include questions about both the infrastructure currently in place at facilities and what physical infrastructure you feel is needed to deter youth from running from care. Examples of this type of physical infrastructure include delayed locks\, alarms\, fencing signs and lighting.\nIn July 2026\, the CPO is required to publish a report that summarizes the results of this survey.\nThe full text of this bill may be found here\, and a fact sheet summarizing the bill may be found here.\n\nZoom Information for Session One: \nTopic: CPO Residential Facility Listening Tour (Session Two)\nTime: Sep 25\, 2025 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85309230897?pwd=ATHlvNVaSOBah2kwjhY33BfqrvKWai.1 \nMeeting ID: 853 0923 0897\nPasscode: 355885 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+17193594580\,\,85309230897#\,\,\,\,*355885# US\n+16694449171\,\,85309230897#\,\,\,\,*355885# US \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/85309230897/invitations?signature=jRXcalnKGHl10U0LNvbaVyYEG1eNB4f3Fqs8mcR7Otw

SUMMARY:Session One: Colorado Facilities Listening Tour
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nThe Office of the Colorado Child Protection Ombudsman (CPO) is starting efforts to implement two newly enacted laws that will require a collaboration and partnership between the CPO and the state’s residential child care community. Both laws (detailed below) require the CPO to implement new programing in Colorado. To do this effectively\, the CPO will be launching a listening tour to learn from those with experience in this community. \nThe CPO is hosting two virtual listening tour sessions designed specifically for staff and facility leaders. These sessions are an opportunity for these individuals to share their insights\, priorities and suggestions about how the CPO may best carry out its responsibilities in a way that supports the work of these facilities and the youth they serve. \nThis session is the first of two scheduled listening tours. Zoom information is provided below. \nAbout the Legislation:  \nHouse Bill 25-1200: Modifications to the Office of the Child Protection Ombudsman \n\nThis new law authorizes the CPO to visit youth and young people in facilities to hear any concerns they may have with their care or treatment. These visits must be scheduled in collaboration with facility leadership\, may not be unannounced and can be requested by the resident themself or by somebody on their behalf. Facilities must provide a private\, confidential space for these meetings\, which may occur either in person or virtually.\nThe CPO will supply outreach materials explaining how youth can contact the office or file a complaint. Facilities must display these materials in a visible location and work with the CPO to offer educational sessions to residents about their rights and the CPO’s services.\nEach facility will develop a Memorandum of Understanding with the CPO regarding these provisions.\nThe full text of this bill may be found here\, and a fact sheet summarizing the bill may be found here.\n\nSenate Bill 25-151: Measures to Prevent Youth from Running Away \n\nThis new law requires the CPO to conduct a statewide survey about physical infrastructure that prevents youth and young people from running away from facilities. It will include questions about both the infrastructure currently in place at facilities and what physical infrastructure you feel is needed to deter youth from running from care. Examples of this type of physical infrastructure include delayed locks\, alarms\, fencing signs and lighting.\nIn July 2026\, the CPO is required to publish a report that summarizes the results of this survey.\nThe full text of this bill may be found here\, and a fact sheet summarizing the bill may be found here.\n\nZoom Information for Session One: \nTopic: CPO Residential Facility Listening Tour (Session One)\nTime: Sep 18\, 2025 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84522601752?pwd=q700VrHrlrAHaeouTkRHpqbTNkHR5I.1 \nMeeting ID: 845 2260 1752\nPasscode: 973594 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+17193594580\,\,84522601752#\,\,\,\,*973594# US\n+16694449171\,\,84522601752#\,\,\,\,*973594# US \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/84522601752/invitations?signature=rn8BWZeUYiaz-kFCFsfxzFHqw4PmnHLHH_napZPYAzg
