Title: National Child Abuse and
Neglect Data System.
OMB No. 0980–0229.
Description: The Children’s Bureau of
the Administration on Children, Youth
and Families in the Administration for
Children and Families of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services collects national child abuse
and neglect statistics through the
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System (NCANDS). NCANDS was
established in response to the 1988
amendment (Pub. L. 100–294) to the
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment
Act (CAPTA) (42 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.),
which called for the creation of a
coordinated national data collection and
analysis program, both universal and
case specific in scope, to examine
standardized data on false, unfounded,
or unsubstantiated reports.
The 1996 CAPTA amendment (42
U.S.C. 5106a(d)) required all States that
receive Basic State Grant funds to
provide specific data elements, to the
extent practicable, to the Federal
Government. These data items were
incorporated into NCANDS. Since that
time, other CAPTA revisions that
pertain to child welfare have been
included in NCANDS. This application
is related to the most recent
reauthorization of CAPTA during 2010
(Pub. L. 113–320).
The CAPTA provisions included in
NCANDS state that each State to which
a grant is made under this section shall
annually work with the Secretary to
provide, to the maximum extent
practicable, a report that includes the
following:
1. The number of children who were
reported to the State during the year as
victims of child abuse or neglect.
2. Of the number of children
described in paragraph (1), the number
with respect to whom such reports
were—
A. Substantiated;
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:18 Jul 19, 2012
Jkt 226001
B. Unsubstantiated; or
C. Determined to be false.
3. Of the number of children
described in paragraph (2)—
A. The number that did not receive
services during the year under the State
program funded under this section or an
equivalent State program;
B. The number that received services
during the year under the State program
funded under this section or an
equivalent State program; and
C. The number that were removed
from their families during the year by
disposition of the case.
4. The number of families that
received preventive services, including
use of differential response, from the
State during the year.
5. The number of deaths in the State
during the year resulting from child
abuse or neglect.
6. Of the number of children
described in paragraph (5), the number
of such children who were in foster
care.
7.
A. The number of child protective
service personnel responsible for the—
i. Intake of reports filed in the
previous year;
ii. Screening of such reports;
iii. Assessment of such reports; and
iv. Investigation of such reports.
B. The average caseload for the
workers described in subparagraph (A).
8. The agency response time with
respect to each such report with respect
to initial investigation of reports of child
abuse or neglect.
9. The response time with respect to
the provision of services to families and
children where an allegation of child
abuse or neglect has been made.
10. For child protective service
personnel responsible for intake,
screening, assessment, and investigation
of child abuse and neglect reports in the
State—
A. Information on the education,
qualifications, and training
requirements established by the State
for child protective service
professionals, including for entry and
advancement in the profession,
including advancement to supervisory
positions;
B. Data of the education,
qualifications, and training of such
personnel;
C. Demographic information of the
child protective service personnel; and
D. Information on caseload or
workload requirements for such
personnel, including requirements for
average number and maximum number
of cases per child protective service
worker and supervisor.
11. The number of children reunited
with their families or receiving family
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

preservation services that, within five
years, result in subsequent substantiated
reports of child abuse or neglect,
including the death of the child.
12. The number of children for whom
individuals were appointed by the court
to represent the best interests of such
children and the average number of out
of court contacts between such
individuals and children.
13. The annual report containing the
summary of activities of the citizen
review panels of the State required by
subsection (c)(6).
14. The number of children under the
care of the State child protection system
who are transferred into the custody of
the State juvenile justice system.
15. The number of children referred to
a child protective services system under
subsection (b)(2)(B)(ii).
16. The number of children
determined to be eligible for referral,
and the number of children referred,
under subsection (b)(2)(B)(xxi), to
agencies providing early intervention
services under part C of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (20
U.S.C. 1431 et seq.).
The Children’s Bureau proposes
continue collecting NCANDS data using
two files of the Detailed Case Data
Component (DCDC): (1) Child File, the
case-level component of NCANDS and
(2) Agency File, the aggregate data
component. The Children’s Bureau is
not proposing to continue collecting
NCANDS data via the Summary Data
Component (SDC), as States will no
longer be using this file to submit data.
The Children’s Bureau is seeking
reapproval of these instruments with
modifications. Modifications are being
proposed to meet requirements of the
amendments in the CAPTA
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–320) passed on December 20, 2010
and to clarify existing reporting. The
Children’s Bureau proposes to modify
the Child File as follows:
• Field 147, Report Time: The Report
Time field will collect the exact time
(hour and minute) that a report was
received by the hotline or other intake
unit. CAPTA requires that each State
submits the time from the report of
abuse or neglect to the start of the initial
child protective services (CPS) agency’s
response (42 U.S.C. 5106a(d)(8)).
Currently, NCANDS only collects the
date a report was received. Adding the
time field will improve reporting for the
Child and Family Services reviews and
the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–352).
• Field 148, Investigation Start Time:
The Investigation Start Time field will
collect the exact time (hour and minute)
that the CPS agency’s response was
