The Governor's Task Force on Children at Risk, a nonpartisan, broadly representative organization with concerns related to children at risk in Idaho, is dedicated to providing informed recommendations to the Governor of the State of Idaho regarding the full scope of issues related to child abuse and neglect.

In 1988, by Executive Order, Governor Cecil Andrus established the Governor's Task Force on Children at Risk. The groups first assignment was to review research on sex crimes against children and develop recommendations to address the issue. This included reviewing testimony from public hearings, national research, and interviews with investigators, treatment providers, law enforcement personnel, perpetrators, citizen advocates, victims and their families

Findings and recommendations were published in "A Report on Idaho's System for Protecting and Serving Children at Risk of Sexual Abuse," Containing 14 specific recommendations. Most of these have been followed to completion.

Since 1988, the Task Force has continued to make recommendations to the Governor on issues pertaining to Idaho's children. Some of their accomplishments include:

- State mandated county Multi-Disciplinary Teams

- Statewide Child Abuse Prevention Program

- Sex Offender Minimum Evaluation Standards

- State Child Mortality Review Team Victim's Right Act

- MDT Brochure

- Care Enough to Call brochure -order here

- Reporting Child Abuse: "Care Enough to Call" Training DVD
