Definition
When there are child abuse and neglect Victims in Cases Where Services Are Required, a) a high level of risk is determined to exist for the
child(ren), and/or b) the family's needs are such that immediate service is
required in order to lessen the safety risk. When it is determined
that services are required, North Dakota Century Code requires a
referral to Juvenile Court and a social worker (case manager) must be
assigned to coordinate services.
The rate is equal to the number of child abuse victims requiring services per 1,000 children ages 0 through 17 in respective geographic areas.

Notes
NA - Data is suppressed where the number used to calculate the rate is five or less, or could be used to identify another geography with five or less.
GEOGRAPHY - Data reflect the location of the assessment. Data for McLean County in FFY 2016 and FFY 2017 include Mercer, McLean, Oliver and Sheridan counties (i.e., Dakota Central Social Services).
DATE - 1996 through 2005 data reflect the Calendar Year (January 1 - December 31). Beginning with 2006 data, the numbers reflect the Federal Fiscal Year (October 1 - September 30).
NOTE - In an effort to coordinate with federal reporting procedures, data regarding child abuse and neglect are now presented for the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) (October-September) rather than for the Calendar Year (CY) (January-December). While trends are consistent between the two reporting procedures, please use caution when comparing FFY data (beginning with 2006 data) with CY data (1996 through 2005).
LIMITATIONS - Reports on child abuse and neglect from tribal lands are processed separately and are not included in these numbers.
