Child abuse/neglect

With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to improve the judicial system’s handling of child abuse and neglect cases by providing funding to support training and technical assistance (TTA) for judicial personnel and attorneys, particularly personnel and practitioners in juvenile and family courts, and by pursuing administrative reform in juvenile and family courts.

With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to fund a national membership and accreditation organization to support training and technical assistance and implementation of national standards for children’s advocacy centers (CACs), which provide a coordinated response to victims of child abuse.
