CHILDRENS ADVOCACY CENTER OF ERIE COUNTY INC
Erie’s CAC opened in June 2001. A non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors, the CAC provides the following services: • A child-friendly suite of offices where children who may be victims of abuse are interviewed by a specially trained forensic interviewer when referred by law enforcement or the Erie County Office of Children and Youth. • Monthly multi-disciplinary meeting where all new and ongoing cases of child abuse are reviewed so that no child falls between the cracks. • Video recording of all interviews. • A closed circuit television observation room that permits investigating professionals to view the one interview rather than each professional having to separately interview the child. • Maintenance of county-wide protocols to improve the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases. • Education of the various professionals in child abuse investigation and intervention techniques so that Erie incorporates the best practices of the country. • Prevention/ education training to the larger community to reduce the incidence of child abuse and increase the likelihood that it will be reported. • Linkages to area providers to insure the child-victims of abuse (and non-offending family members have access to appropriate medical, counseling and mental health services.
