If the public health nurse referred the child to Child Protection Services but maltreatment was never substantiated, should they count this child under V. Child Maltreatment and Abuse?
Answer No, only substantiated cases should be counted Question We are not able to obtain this information because we are not part of human services, although we do provide services in the area of preventing child maltreatment. Answer We realize that this is a challenging outcome to measure. If you are unable to obtain data on substantiated child maltreatment, please indicate this in the open text field asking for problems encountered while collecting these data. Please also list any ideas that you have for solving this problem in the future.
