Training Overview
When authorities suspect a child may be experiencing abuse, the child is brought to a Child Advocacy Center (CAC), a safe and child-focused environment. At the CAC, the child recounts their experience once to a trained forensic interviewer who employs sensitive questioning techniques to avoid retraumatizing the child. Subsequently, a team comprising medical professionals, law enforcement, mental health experts, legal representatives, child protective services personnel, victim advocates, and other relevant professionals collaborates to determine the best course of action for assisting the child, guided by the information gathered during the interview. CACs provide a range of services including therapy, medical examinations, courtroom preparation, victim advocacy, case management, and more. This collective approach, known as the multidisciplinary team (MDT) response, constitutes a fundamental aspect of CAC operations.
