What is the purpose of the State Central Registry (SCR) in the child welfare system?

  1. Provide therapy to families

  2. Manage adoption paperwork

  3. Route calls from the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline to appropriate channels

  4. Conduct initial in-person assessments

The correct answer is: Route calls from the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline to appropriate channels

The correct answer is C: Route calls from the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline to appropriate channels. The State Central Registry (SCR) plays a crucial role in the child welfare system by serving as a central hub where reports of child abuse and neglect are received and documented. One of its primary responsibilities is to efficiently route calls from the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline to the appropriate channels for investigation and intervention. The SCR does not provide therapy to families (Option A), manage adoption paperwork (Option B), or conduct initial in-person assessments (Option D).
