Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board

​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​CANP Board

The Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention (CANP) Board​ was formed in 2022 by KRS 15.905 for the "coordination and exchange of information on the establishment and maintenance of prevention programs." (KRS 15.920) The Board also oversees the Child Victims' Trust Fund (CVTF), a non-profit program that provides local communities with funding for child abuse prevention programs and reimbursement for the portion of child sexual abuse and child abuse and neglect medical exam expenses not covered by Medicaid or private insurance.​

The Board is not currently accepting grant funding applications.  Future requests for funding proposals will be posted as they become available.  Please check this webpage later for updated information.  Questions can be submitted via email at kids@ky.gov or by contacting the Office of Trafficking and Abuse Prevention and Prosecution at 502-696-5300.    ​

What are the goals of the Bo​ard?

• To promote public and professional education on the nature and scope of child abuse and related issues, indicators, laws, roles, and resources;
• To raise awareness that it is adults’ responsibility to provide a safe community for children;
• To reduce the incidence and impact of child abuse by promoting, supporting and/or funding effective programs; and
• To establish procedures to generate and oversee the effective and efficient use of CVTF monies.
