The Ukulele Project has a commitment to keeping our team and students safe - in and out of the classroom. We trust that as a tUP teacher you will do your best to report possible neglect and abuse the moment you see it. This page is dedicated to providing you with the resources you might need to help navigate a very difficult situation.

Reporting potential neglect or abuse is our civic duty and required by law to be reported within 24 hours. It is NOT our job to be detectives, it is our job to report as soon as possible and let Oregon Human Services (OHS) and Child Protective Services (CPS) follow up on any leads.

Below you will find quick links to contact numbers, access to forms and an order of procedure to follow if you see any signs of abuse.

Please review our quick links section or the subpages listed below to assess the resources you may need. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you can contact us directly theukuleleprojectPDX@gmail.com or call or text Jeff at 917-803-4222

      While on the call:

      • Ask for the name and email address of the person you are making the report to. If they ask why you need this information, let them know that you are required by the Ukulele Project policy to follow up the call with an email confirming the report.

      • Document the response you received from the contact person. Responses might include, opening an investigation, not enough information to begin an investigation or this information will be added to an existing report received earlier.


      After the call:

      • Send an email to the intake person you spoke with, confirming your call. Include your full name, your school, contact information and who you made the report about. Ask the person to respond back that they have received your email confirmation.
