Data
Our work is informed by national child welfare data and the reports that document how abuse, neglect, and system responses evolve over time. By monitoring these sources, CSF ensures its strategy remains grounded in the realities facing children, families, and professionals across the United States.
While federal agencies such as the Administration for Children and Families conduct the primary analysis of these datasets, CSF tracks key findings and trends to guide program design, training priorities, and long-term strategy.
Below are core reports that inform our understanding of child maltreatment and the systems responsible for responding to it.
