Meeting Agenda: CECANF was established to develop a national strategy and recommendations for reducing fatalities resulting from child abuse and neglect.
The purpose of the October 23 meeting is for Commission members to gather national and state-specific information regarding child abuse and neglect fatalities. The Commission will hear from researchers and issue experts regarding child abuse and neglect fatalities among tribes; the state of the art of safety decision making in child welfare; how child safety is assessed by law enforcement and in mental health, domestic violence, and substance abuse treatment services; what is known about near fatalities; and what a public health-based child abuse and neglect fatality prevention infrastructure might look like.
