Building a Data-Driven Plan for
Child Abuse Prevention
The Solano Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC), in partnership with Solano County Child Welfare Services, leads a countywide effort to strengthen child abuse prevention. Through collaboration with community leaders and stakeholders, CAPC develops targeted strategies that address local needs and enhance child safety and family support services.
A key part of this effort is the Community Needs Assessment, conducted in partnership with Applied Survey Research. This assessment identifies local risk factors, maps existing services, and gathers input from community members and stakeholders. The findings provide valuable insights that inform a comprehensive prevention plan, ensuring that data-driven strategies effectively support children and families across Solano County.
