3 A YEAR S OVERVIEW MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Thank you for taking time to review our first officially produced Annual Report. Among these pages you will find a wealth of information pertaining to an incredible period of successful training, service provision, and growth in both service and funding. We are proud to report that we have made more advancement in providing efficient and timely services to child victims and their families across North Carolina than any time in our history. We now have 35 fully accredited and four provisionally accredited Children s Advocacy Centers with eight additional Centers under development. That is an increase of 34% over just a few years ago. And to assist those Centers in providing the best service possible, CACNC has been instrumental in facilitating an amazing 52% increase in State and Federal funding for the individual Centers and the Chapter. Furthermore, the Chapter has recently increased support to all CACs with the addition of key staff who focus on training opportunities, expansion into underserved areas, data collection, and assistance with accreditation/standards, and ever-increasing legal issues and questions. Never in our history has there been a more exciting time to be a part of the NC Chapter of Children s Advocacy Centers. Nor has there been a more important time to be involved in this movement. With the tremendous spike in drug usage and the ongoing battle of abuse and neglect, children and families across the State are in more perilous situations than ever before. Never has the need for the services we provide and collaborative efforts we lead been more necessary than they are today. With that said, the recent growth outlined in these pages combined with new opportunities and funding possibilities for services and prevention efforts brings a ray of hope unlike any we have seen before. As you read these pages, I hope you experience the sense of pride all of us at CACNC; Board, Staff, and Member CACs, feel at this time in our history and I hope you join with us in the sense of urgency to learn more, grow more, and do more every day. Sincerely, Chris Jernigan CACNC Board President CACNC
4 WHAT IS A CAC? A Children s Advocacy Center is the ONE place that provides a safe, child-focused environment where law enforcement, child protective services, prosecution, medial and mental health professionals may share information and develop a coordinated strategy that seeks justice while also meeting the unique needs of each child and non-offending family member. WITHOUT CACs WITH CACs CACNC
5 HOW DOES THE CAC MODEL WORK? Core Function of CAC Function Provided by a Team Member LAW ENFORCEMENT CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES The role of local law enforcement is grounded in public safety If not criminal in nature, law enforcement may not take action The role of CPS is to ensure that a child s home is safe If the family/caretaker is not the alleged abuser, CPS may not take action Immediate Response Priority Assigned (24-72 hours) Child is brought to children s advocacy center Joint Investigation Begins Forensic Interview Evidence Collected Photos Taken Witness Interview Medical Treatment & Exam CAC coordinates Case Review with all team members, including law enforcement, prosecution, Child Protective Services, the forensic interviewer, a mental health provider, a medical professional, and a family advocate Case presented to District Attorney Suspect Charged or Case Refused Child & family receive mental health services.
