The Multi-Disciplinary Team works toward handling child abuse cases within the county through the use of best practices, which include an team effort by several different competencies. The goal of the team is to determine as accurately as possible the truthful facts pertinent to each report or investigated incident in order to prevent unwarranted suspicion or accusations, as well as to assist in successful prosecution where warranted while treating children with dignity and respect and minimizing secondary trauma that has been historically associated with child abuse investigations.
