Putting the wellbeing of each child first.
The CHCAC works closely with a team of professionals when an allegation of child abuse is made in Bradford and Sullivan Counties. We use a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach to the investigation in order to make the process as streamlined as possible. The primary goal of the MDIT is to bring together the agencies involved in the investigation to the child, rather than the child going to multiple agencies.
In this approach we reduce duplicative interviews of a child, which could hinder the investigation and further traumatize a child after experiencing abuse. The child’s wellbeing is at the forefront of each investigation.
