The Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS) is a national initiative to collect data on children who come to the attention of a child welfare authority due to alleged or suspected abuse and/or neglect.
At the present time there is no source of comprehensive, reliable national statistics on the nature and extent of child abuse and neglect across Canada.
One-third (34.1%) of the Canadian population aged 15 years and older have experienced at least one type of childhood maltreatment. Physical abuse was experienced most often (27.4%), followed by exposure to intimate partner violence (10.6%) and sexual abuse (8.1%).
