Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are the foundation of our response to allegations of child abuse.
Without a CAC, a child may end up having to tell the worst story of their life repeatedly to those trying to help - like doctors, lawyers, judges, and officers.
However, with the CAC, children come to our safe and child-friendly environment where they tell what happened to a trained forensic interviewer who knows how to ask questions in a way that does not traumatize the child.
Before the interview, during the interview, and post interview, our multidisciplinary team (MDT) of professionals work together to make decisions about how to help the alleged victim and their family throughout the case.
