Deductions & credits

No.  According to the Instructions for Form 8379  for line 17(a) for Tax Year 2019:

"Include any tax credits (except the earned income credit) reported on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 13a, or Schedule 3 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR)."

[Bolding mine.]

Form 1040, line 13a, is the Child Tax Credit or Credit for Other Dependents.

Schedule 3 includes a number of other credits, but not the Additional Child Credit, which is reported on line 18b of Form 1040.
