How the CAC Model Works

Why is the Children’s Advocacy Center model so important? How does it make a difference for child victims of abuse?
At its core,the model is about teamwork – bringing the agency professionals involved in a case together on the front end
and about putting the needs of the child victim first. So rather than having a child taken from agency to agency throughout
the law enforcement and child protection systems, and having to endure multiple, sequential interviews, the CAC model brings
the system to the child, and brings the agency professionals together to work in a collaborative approach that results in effective, efficient and child-centered casework.
