Abstract
To ensure that all children across the U.S. who are
served by Children’s Advocacy Centers receive
consistent, evidence-based interventions that help
them heal.
In addition to serving as the set of standards by
which Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) may
be accredited as capable of providing consistent
and evidence-based healing interventions, the
Standards for Accredited Members also perform
several secondary functions. The Standards 1) act
as a compass for CACs during leadership transition
so that Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs), Boards,
and other stakeholders know how to maintain
the course; 2) to serve as a valuable roadmap for
new CACs as they develop; and 3) to demonstrate
the high-quality work of Accredited CACs to
policymakers, funders, and supporters.
