What You Should Know Before Starting a Complaint

If you think that you have been discriminated against, please watch our video presentation, What you Need to Know Before Filing a Charge. These videos are in the process of being updated and do not yet refer to sexual orientation. If, after viewing the video presentation, you decide that you wish to file a Charge of Discrimination, you will need to complete an Intake Packet.

• What you Need to Know Before Filing a Charge - (In English)
• Lo Que Necesitas Saber Antes de Presentar Una Queja - (en Espanol)

Assuming that you are within the time limits allowed for filing a discrimination claim based on a protected class, the first step in the complaint process is to complete a Colorado Civil Rights Division Intake Packet. We have an Intake Packet for each of the areas that we cover - Employment, Housing, and Public Accommodations. The Intake Packet will give us the information that we need to draft a charge.

It is important that you complete all of the required forms in the Intake Packet and that you provide a detailed narrative account of the facts, the adverse action(s), and the basis for your claim. Failure to complete all forms may result in an untimely delay in the processing of your claim. Remember, completing an Intake Packet does not constitute filing a charge or meeting the filing deadline but is the start of the intake process.
