Gateways to Information: Protecting Children and Strengthening Families
The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information and the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse are services of the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The mission of the Clearinghouses is to connect professionals and concerned citizens to timely and well-balanced information on programs, research, legislation, and statistics regarding the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families.
The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information (NCCANCH) was established in 1974 by the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to collect, organize, and disseminate information on all aspects of child maltreatment. The legislation that established a national clearinghouse for information relating to child abuse is available online.
The National Adoption Information Clearinghouse (NAIC) was established by
Congress in 1987 to provide free information on all aspects of adoption. The
NAIC website provides comprehensive information on domestic and intercountry
adoption. The
legislation that established the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse

The CCRC is concerned with
children and adolescents, from birth through age 17, and all their crime
victimizations, both within and outside the family, both known and unknown to
law enforcement.
These include:
- Criminal acts as defined by law, such as sexual assault, abduction, theft, robbery, and aggravated assault against children
- Child abuse in all its forms--physical, sexual, emotional--and child neglect
- Child-to-child violence, such as peer and sibling assaults, which would be considered criminal if the parties were adults
- Indirect victimization, where children witness or are affected by the crime victimization of a family member or friend
On behalf of the Government of Canada and its
Family Violence Initiative (FVI), Health Canada operates
