Child & Adult Abuse & Neglect Non-Recurrence Rates<br />

Some of the County’s most vulnerable<br />

populations rely on services that will<br />

have lasting impacts on individuals<br />

in the community. Several of the<br />

Department of Social Services key<br />

indicators center around the protection<br />

and support of individuals most at risk,<br />

who tend to be children and the elderly<br />

but can also be persons with disabilities<br />

and other adults seeking aid.<br />

The child abuse and neglect non-recurrence<br />

rate measures the annual percent<br />

of Child Protective Services clients who<br />

are not repeat victims of maltreatment.<br />

Similarly, the adult abuse and neglect<br />

non-recurrence rate measures the annual<br />

percent of Adult Protective Services<br />

clients who are not repeat victims of<br />

maltreatment.<br />

Policy and procedure changes, which<br />

emphasize the front-loading of services<br />

to families, along with support from<br />

community agencies have led to an<br />

increase in the child abuse and neglect<br />

non-recurrence rate. While, better<br />

tracking and reporting of cases have<br />

led to an increase in the adult abuse<br />

and neglect non-recurrence rate.<br />
