CECANF was established to develop a national strategy and recommendations for reducing fatalities resulting from child abuse and neglect.
On January 12, Commission members will convene to discuss their understanding of the issues of defining and counting child abuse and neglect fatalities and to explore recommendations for addressing them, including the following questions:
- What is the scope of child abuse and neglect fatalities?
- What are the purposes of counting child abuse and neglect fatalities?
- What data on child abuse and neglect fatalities are currently collected?
- What are the limitations of our current data collection efforts?
- What strategies could be implemented to improve the counting of child abuse and neglect fatalities?
- Do definitions of child abuse and neglect fatalities need to be standardized?
Commission members also will begin discussing the work plans of the six Commission subcommittees and the information that they have obtained to date. On January 13, Commission members will continue their discussion of subcommittee work.
