HHS responded by establishing
NCANDS as a voluntary national
reporting system.
During 1996, CAPTA was amended to
require all states that receive funds from
the Basic State Grant program to work
with the Secretary of HHS to provide
specific data elements, to the maximum
extent practicable, about children who
had been maltreated. Most of the
required data elements were added to
the NCANDS data collection.
Subsequent CAPTA reauthorizations
and amendments added required data
elements. The current list of CAPTA
