Iowa Chapter of Children’s Advocacy Centers 

The Iowa Chapter of Children’s Advocacy Centers (ICCAC) was formed in 2003 by a group of child abuse professionals who felt that the Children’s Advocacy Center model was the most effective way to tackle the problems associated with child abuse. ICCAC provides support services to Iowa’s local Child Protection Centers with the development, continuation and enhancement of the Child Protection Center model in their local communities.

ICCAC is dedicated to the multidisciplinary, child advocacy approach and a coordinated, comprehensive response to child abuse. ICCAC utilizes local networks and is familiar with laws that are unique to Iowa. In addition to networking and mentoring opportunities, ICCAC is working to educate state leadership on protecting children and the needs of CPCs. The Iowa Chapter also provides statewide training and other resources.

National Children’s Alliance is a professional membership organization dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient – and put the needs of child victims first.

National Children's Alliance provides training, support, technical assistance and leadership on a national level to local children’s and child advocacy centers and communities responding to reports of child abuse and neglect.  A children’s advocacy center is a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from many disciplines, including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical and victim advocacy, child advocacy, work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases.

National Children's Alliance strongly believes that the combined professional wisdom and skill of the multidisciplinary team approach results in a more complete understanding of case issues and the most effective child- and family-focused system response possible
