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

  1. Provide therapy to families

  2. Manage adoption paperwork

  3. Conduct initial in-person assessments

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

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

The State Central Registry (SCR) in the child welfare system is responsible for routing calls from the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline to appropriate channels. This function is crucial in ensuring that reports of child abuse and neglect are properly handled and investigated by the appropriate authorities. The SCR does not provide therapy to families (Option A), manage adoption paperwork (Option B), or conduct initial in-person assessments (Option C). These tasks are typically carried out by different entities within the child welfare system.
