Child Abuse Central Index – Who Can Obtain CACI information?

One of the primary purposes of CACI is to permit authorized entities to easily locate any prior reports and allegations of known or suspected incidents of child abuse. The entity receiving the information from CACI is responsible for reviewing the underlying investigative reports from the reporting agency and making an independent assessment regarding the merits of the allegations.

Any law enforcement agency or social services agency investigating a child abuse case has access to your information if you appear on the child abuse index. This means that the District Attorney’s Office in any county can submit a request for CACI information pertaining to any specific person.

In addition, authorized persons can make inquires for purposes of employment, licensing, adoption, or child placement. The law permits them to receive information regarding whether or not you have been placed on the child abuse index. Your inclusion on CACI may disqualify you from pursuing certain programs or employment opportunities.
