The Children's Bureau is proposing to
continue collecting the National Child Abuse and Neglect System
(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. NCANDS has been
collecting data on behalf of the Children's Bureau since 1991. The
Children's Bureau is seeking re-approval of these instruments with
modifications. The modifications are to comply with two laws that
amended the Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act: 1) Justice
for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 and 2) Comprehensive
Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) of 2016. The Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) requires all
States that receive Basic State Grant funds to provide specific
data elements, to the extent practicable, to the federal
government. Historically, the data items in this area of CAPTA have
been incorporated into NCANDS.
