Sistema Alerta Niñez (Childhood Alert System) is a system implemented in Chile to to estimate and predict the risk levels of children and adolescents to suffer violations of their rights in the future, through an analysis of data from different administrative sources. In practice, it generates a “risk index” allowing the cases to be classified in order of priority making it possible for the State to anticipate and intervene early and preventively. The system has also become a platform for registering, managing and monitoring the cases of children and adolescents identified as being at higher risk.
