Victim Advocacy

Victim advocacy services are essential to support the child victim and the non-offending caregiver in the aftermath of an allegation of abuse.  A victim/family advocate is present at the time of the forensic interview to meet with the MDT during the pre-meeting to discuss and share information with the MDT.  The advocate then meets with the caregiver during the forensic interview to provide support, information and referrals.
