CHILD WELFARE
CENTRAL REGISTRY STATISTICS

Each year the Division produces summary statistics from the CPS Central Registry regarding child abuse and neglect in North Carolina.  To understand the incidence of child maltreatment the data is presented with unduplicated counts.

In August 2002 North Carolina began implementing the Multiple Response System . This reform created a change in the way we captured some of our data. As such, Child Protective Services Summary Statistics are available only since SFY 2002.

In February 2006, the Division added a new finding for Family Assessments, "Services Provided, No longer Needed." This finding indicates that the safety of a child and future risk of harm are no longer issues because the agency has been successful in frontloading neccessary services during the family assessment.
