Child Abuse

Since 1985, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) has led initiatives to combat child abuse, including the previously grant-funded National Center for the Prosecution of Child Abuse. Through these efforts, NDAA has consistently provided comprehensive training and expert technical assistance to prosecutors and allied criminal justice professionals, empowering them with essential skills and strategies for effectively identifying and responding to child maltreatment.

Our training programs are developed in collaboration with leading experts in child welfare, ensuring practitioners are well-prepared for complex cases across juvenile and adult court proceedings. NDAA’s dedication has supported thousands of frontline professionals in their critical mission to serve and protect vulnerable children.

Protecting children demands highly skilled, collaborative, and dedicated professionals. NDAA continues its commitment to providing investigators, prosecutors, and allied criminal justice personnel with essential resources and support to effectively pursue justice and ensure the safety of our most vulnerable victims.
