Child Protection Team Case Review Meetings

Maintaining open communication and case coordination among community professionals and agencies involved in child protection is a priority for the Center. To accomplish this, the Center has developed multiple contacts within the Hill Country. Case Review Teams meet regularly to discuss child abuse cases.

The teams consist of representatives from law enforcement, medical professionals, Children’s Protective Services, prosecution, medical and mental health professionals and others. During investigative and intervention processes, while maintaining their own roles, these child advocates are able to receive input from other professionals before making decisions regarding a case. As a result, more offenders are held accountable because of these coordinated procedures.
