Child welfare

A service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Child Welfare Information Gateway promotes the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families by providing publications, research, and learning tools selected by experts to support thriving children, youth, families, and communities.

The mission of the Crimes Against Children Research Center is to combat crimes against children by providing high quality research and statistics to the public, policymakers, law enforcement personnel, and other child welfare practitioners.
