Our Multidisciplinary Investigative Team (MDIT) is made up of experts in the field of child maltreatment, each of whom has a special area of expertise. Our MDIT at The Children’s House collaborates throughout the child abuse investigation. Investigations are completed more effectively and expeditiously, leading to stronger cases for prosecution. Furthermore, agency responses and support to victims and non-offending caregivers are improved and trauma is reduced.
