FW: Abuse Records/Confidentiality Laws

[Sandi McLeod <mcleods@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Laurian,

The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information works in
cooperation with the National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse, a
program of the American Prosecutors Research Institute (APRI), to compile
specific sections of State civil and criminal child maltreatment laws.
Forty separate elements of the law, grouped into six major categories, are
available online via our Web site.  Of particular interest to you would be
the category "Central Registries/Reporting Records".  This category includes
elements on establishment and purpose; contents and maintenance;
expungement; and confidentiality.  For more information, please see:
http://www.calib.com/nccanch/statutes/index.cfm#Central.

I hope that you find this useful information.

Sincerely,
Sandi McLeod, Special Initiatives/Media Relations
National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse & Neglect Information
