About The Hampton Child Protection Team (HCPT)

Brief History

The Hampton Child Protection Team was formed in September 1975 in response to a mandate from the state of Virginia requiring each local Department of Social Service to establish a multidisciplinary team to meet the needs of abused and neglected children in their locale. The Team's formation was sponsored by the Hampton Department of Social Services.

In recognition of the complexity of the problem of child abuse and neglect, a group of representatives from local agencies, schools, city departments, and community volunteers was formed as an advisory council to achieve the following goal: to promote, advocate, and assist in the development of a coordinated service system directed at the early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment, and prevention of child abuse and neglect in Hampton.
