Who this template is for

Child Custody Alert Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in childcare & family.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 13 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Do you have a relevant document to share?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Relevant document”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Could this affect today's collection?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Today's collection concern”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Does submitting this form change who can collect a child?

No. It requests a review. Staff should check the information against existing records and follow the program's procedure before changing collection instructions.

How is this different from the Child Pick-Up Authorization Form?

The Child Pick-Up Authorization Form records people nominated for collection. This form flags custody-related information or concerns that need a separate review; it should not replace that authorization record.

Must a family upload a document?

No. Keep uploads optional so a family can flag a concern promptly or request a private way to provide documents. A reviewer can explain what supporting information the program needs.

What if the concern affects today's collection?

The reporting adult should call the program directly, even after submitting the form. The form is not an emergency channel; immediate danger should be reported to local emergency services.

Is the Child Custody Alert Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Child Custody Alert Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
