The DCFS CW CPI 2 form is a confidential report used by mandated reporters in Louisiana to document suspected child abuse or neglect. Louisiana Children's Code, Article 610 D, requires reporters to submit this written form within five days of any initial oral report to the Department of Children and Family Services or local law enforcement.
The form collects details about the suspected victim, the alleged perpetrator, and the nature and extent of the harm. It also asks whether there are immediate safety concerns for welfare workers who may visit the household. This comprehensive documentation helps investigators assess risk and prioritize their response.
Confidentiality is a core protection in this process. The identity of the reporter is protected by Louisiana law and will not be disclosed to the alleged perpetrator or the public. The form also provides guidance for reporters who lack access to printing facilities.
