The Multi-disciplinary Team Approach
The predominant approach to child abuse investigations at
Children’s Advocacy Center is the multi-disciplinary team
model. This approach supports enhanced communications between the
various agencies that respond to allegations of child abuse, especially
sexual and severe physical abuse.
This coordinated community response plays a vital role in the
successful protection and prosecution of child victims of abuse.
The coordination of law enforcement, child protective services, mental
and medical health providers and victim advocates laid the foundation
for the minimizing of trauma for children and their families throughout
the investigation process.
