The Division of Services and Community Development, in conjunction with the Office of Program Evaluations and Quality Measurement, is conducting a study of multidisciplinary approaches to the handling of child abuse cases, particularly sexual abuse, in New York State. The purposes of this study are to identify the level of coordination of current and previous team building efforts and to obtain baseline information on county-specific multidisciplinary programs. The results of the survey will provide the Department with information to be used to target future local team building initiatives as well as assist with a comprehensive law and policy review being conducted by the Children's Justice Task Force.
