Provide a brief summary of your project's activities and objectives (up to 375 characters). Alliance For Children receives all child abuse and neglect reports occurring in Tarrant County. Through the review of these cases, Alliance For Children identifies cases that meet established protocols for a multidisciplinary team response and a forensic interview. The agency coordinates the interview and needed support services for families. 6. What is the crime/safety situation the target group faces? Please explain the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist. Support your description with good sources. According to the organization Darkness to Light, approximately one in ten children will be sexually abused in Tarrant County. Last year, around 60,000 children in the state of Texas were confirmed as victims of abuse or neglect by the Department of Family and Protective Services. Alliance For Children served 2,434 children as part of a child abuse investigation in fiscal year 2022. Of these, 1,311 were served in the agency's Fort Worth center. Alliance For Children has served over 65,000 victims of child abuse since its inception in 1992. According to research cited by Darkness to Light, some of the most common consequences in children who have experienced sexual abuse include: emotional and mental health problems, substance abuse problems beginning in childhood or adolescence and potentially continuing into adulthood, delinquency and crime in adolescence, academic problems in childhood, sexual behavior problems and physical health problems in adulthood. A collaborative approach and access to healing services plays a critical role in reducing such risk factors. 7. What is the target population? Please include characteristics to describe their circumstances and how the crime or safety situation affects them. Alliance For Children, in partnership with FWPD, serves children in Tarrant County ages birth to 17 years old who are suspected to be victims of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, medical child abuse, trafficking, child fatality or witnesses to a violent crime. The organization also may serve adults over 17 when deemed appropriate to best support the individual. The target group for this project will include children served through Alliance For Children's Fort Worth center who receive a forensic interview, including children from every zip code in the city of Fort Worth. Alliance For Children serves all race/ethnic groups and across all financial demographics. Alliance For Children anticipates coordinating over 4,000 cases and conducting at least 825 forensic interviews in the agency's Fort Worth center for fiscal year 2024. As a children's advocacy center, Alliance For Children acts as a neutral party to serve every child in need who fits the parameters of the agency's protocols, regardless of preferred language or any disabilities they may have. Alliance For Children has interviewers who are bilingual in English and Spanish and interpreters are utilized to accommodate any other language needs. Alliance For Children provides multidisciplinary team (MDT) coordination to strengthen and sustain the multidisciplinary team with collaboration among partners to ensure timely access to the full array of services for children and families encompassed in the Alliance For Children case criteria. Case coordination will be provided by Alliance For Children in order to issue support for investiqative partners as well as to facilitate the provision of resources and healing services to identified victims. A forensic interview allows a child to discuss what, if any, abuse they may have endured or to give details of a potential crime they may have witnessed. The forensic interview can be instrumental in a criminal child abuse investigation, serving as the child's statement as to what has occurred. Information gained in a forensic interview is often the first step towards law enforcement seeking justice for child victims. This not only allows the child interviewed to be kept safe from the perpetrator but helps prevent the perpetrator from possibly abusing other children. 8. What action will you take to resolve the situation? Discuss how you will address the causes of the crime/safety problem described in Question 6. Please include: <br> 1. What are the major activities, <br> 2. How many will benefit, <br> 3. How your project is unique & similar to other efforts, and <br> 4. What sources were used to develop and inform your project. Members of Alliance For Children's Multidisciplinary Team Coordination Program who read intakes from the Department of Family and Protective Services will determine if it appears a child meets the protocols to receive a forensic interview. When this is the case, this team will move forward with coordinating with law enforcement and DFPS investigative partners to schedule a forensic interview for the child. For many Fort Worth children who may have experienced abuse, after a report is made to authorities, a forensic interview is often the first step in the child abuse investigation. A forensic interview is a legally justifiable, objective, fact-finding, investigative interview conducted by a trained professional at the request of an investigating agency such as the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or law enforcement agencies. Forensic interviews are listed in Section 264 of the Texas Family Code as a service to be provided by a children's advocacy center to avoid duplicate interviewing. In 2022, Alliance For Children provided 960 forensic interviews at the agency's Fort Worth center, and 1,847 forensic interviews among all of its locations. Alliance For Children's Forensic Interview Team consists of specialized interviewers who are highly trained in child development, memory, suggestibility, linguistics, dynamics of child abuse, and question typology. These interviews are designed to obtain investigative information from possible or alleged child abuse victims in a developmentally appropriate and non -leading manner to help avoid re -traumatization of the child. Law enforcement and the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) partners witness the interviews in real time so that additional clarification of details can be gathered by the forensic interviewer if needed. Interviews gather a plethora of detail, not just about the possible criminal offense, but the location(s) it might have taken place in, and other sensory details the child may be able to share, which can lead to better corroboration, suspect identification, and thorough search warrants. Alliance For Children has had an established forensic interview team since 2007. 9. What are your anticipated results? Please include how the crime/safety situation will change and how you will measure success. Alliance For Children's goal is to provide forensic interviews to at least 85% of children who should receive a forensic interview as established in Alliance For Children's Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) protocols. A significant purpose of these digitally recorded interviews it to reduce the number of times the alleged victim is interviewed, as well as the number of individuals who interview the alleged victim or child witness. Alleged victims or child witnesses are interviewed by Alliance For Children forensic interviewers. The digital interview is not used as a substitute for the victim testifying at trial but can be used for court preparation. All forensic interviews will afford an opportunity for investigators and the forensic interviewer to have a collaborative discussion regarding any information clarification prior to the conclusion of the interview, except in the case of unforeseen circumstances. 10. Why is your agency suited to lead this project? Please include your agency's experience, mission, partnerships, and nature of your services. Alliance For Children has been the designated children's advocacy center for Tarrant County, Texas since 1992. It has maintained a physical location in the city of Fort Worth since 1995. The mission of Alliance For Children is to protect Tarrant County children from child abuse through teamed investigations, healing services and community education. Alliance For Children is the only nonprofit in Tarrant County that plays a role in child abuse investigations and the only Tarrant County agency authorized to have a child forensic interview team. Additionally, Alliance For Children is accredited by Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas and the National Children's Alliance. Alliance For Children partners with the Department of Family and Protective Services, Fort Worth Police Department, Tarrant County Sheriff's Office and 30+ additional law enforcement agencies, Cook Children's Health System, JPS Health Network, Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office, Tarrant County Juvenile Services and ACH Child and Family Services/OCOK to coordinate child abuse investigations and help ensure child abuse victims and their nonoffending family members have access to needed services, such as forensic interviews, counseling and case management. All services, including forensic interviews, are offered by Alliance For Children are at no charge to families. 11. What is your agency's mission? Please include how this project fits and how this project was developed. Alliance For Children's mission is to protect Tarrant County children from child abuse through teamed investigations, healing services, and community education. One of the key portions of Alliance For Children's mission is to protect Tarrant County children from child abuse through teamed investigations. Through case coordination led by our multidisciplinary (MDT) team, Alliance For Children provide support for investigative partners as well as to facilitate the provision of resources and healing services for identified victims which may also include specialized MDT staffing to ensure children have access to appropriate services. A forensic interview is one of the key services offered by children's advocacy centers such as Alliance For Children. As defined in the Texas Family Code Section 264, a center shall provide: "forensic interviews that are conducted in a neutral, factfinding manner and coordinated to avoid duplicate interviewing." By providing quality forensic interviews, Alliance For Children is able to assist the Fort Worth Police Department and other investigative parties in their child abuse investigation process. Children are less likely to receive duplicate interviews by various parties and thus are less likely to experience re - traumatization or confusion by being interviewed by multiple agencies/individuals. The forensic interview is able to be utilized by the Fort Worth Police Department and other agencies to conduct their investigations. As arrests are able to be made and perpetrators of child abuse are held legally accountable, potential future victims of the perpetrators are protected. 12. What geographic area will you serve? Please include the relevant council districts, zip codes, or neighborhoods that will be served by your project. Alliance For Children, serves Tarrant County, Texas through three child friendly locations in Fort Worth, Arlington, and Hurst. The agency has a center located at 3609 Marquita Drive in Fort Worth that serves children from all neighborhoods and zip codes in the city of Fort Worth. Alliance For Children co -locates in its Fort Worth center with the Crimes Against Children unit with the Fort Worth Police Department and the Department of Family and Protective Services.

What other funding have you secured (or requested) on behalf of this project? Please include a description of how you intend to continue these services after funding expires. Alliance For Children receives funding through the Victims of Crime Act. A portion of this funding is currently used to support the forensic interview program. Alliance For Children receives funds from a variety of sources, including city, state, and federal government levels. In addition, the agency submits and receives various grants from foundations and businesses, etc. Alliance For Children also holds two large fundraisers each year to support its work and mission. The organization also has many donors and supporters who give monetary donations each year to help sustain the work with child abuse victims and their families.

Through these efforts, we hope to provide prevention education to 500 children/adults in at -risk zip codes. We will track the success of this goal by documenting the number of students who received education at schools in at -risk zip codes and documenting the number of adults who attended prevention education trainings and affiliate with being part of community in the mentioned zip codes. In educating both children and adults to report abusive/violent situations, we are also encouraging increased reporting of abuse, allowing victimized families to receive intervention services. 4) 500 children and/or adults Alliance For Children will engage with public schools located in above zip codes and offer child abuse prevention education to students.
