A Call to Action on Behalf of Maltreated Infants and Toddlers

A Call to Action represents the collective vision of leading child welfare and early childhood development organizations on the important steps that can and should be taken in policies, programs, and practices to address the needs of vulnerable infants and toddlers who come to the attention of the child welfare system. This policy agenda is intended to provide a starting point for policymakers at all levels of government in creating a response to the children’s special needs.
