Advancing Child Abuse Investigations through the MDT Model (REPEAT)

This presentation on the Multi-Disciplinary Team Process is a comprehensive session designed to equip team members with the collaborative skills crucial for effective investigations and successful convictions. By delving into the intricacies of interagency cooperation, this workshop highlights the synergy between professionals from various disciplines who work within the multidisciplinary team. Understanding how each role contributes to the investigative process not only enhances the efficiency of our efforts but also strengthens our ability to secure justice for victims and convict perpetrators, ensuring a more robust and impactful approach to the mission to combat. This presentation will also include real life case examples of the MDT process. These examples will illustrate both successful MDT cases and non-successful cases where the MDT process was not utilized at first, but once the team approach was initiated through the multidisciplinary team at the Children's Advocacy Center, the result was that justice was achieved for the victims.
