NDACAN manages and distributes various child welfare administrative datasets, including the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System and the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System. Communities use these datasets to examine various demographic variables, such as age, race, and gender as compared to the general child population to assess equitable child welfare practice as it relates to substantiations, referrals, service access, permanency decisions, and other child welfare factors.
