The National Children's Alliance Membership
The National Children's Alliance (NCA) is the national organization which supports CACs across the US. There are several different levels of NCA membership: accredited membership, associate/developing center membership, affiliate membership, satellite membership, and chapter membership.
Accreditation standards are standards which CACs are required to meet in order to be an accredited member. Standards include maintaining a child-focused facility; having a multi-disciplinary team; ensuring organizational capacity and cultural competency and diversity; demonstrated quality forensic interviewing, access to medical evaluations and ability to provide therapeutic interventions; engaging in victim support and advocacy; and engaging in case review and case tracking. The Northeast Regional Children's Advocacy Center also provides quality technical assistance for existing and developing CACs.
