Child Fatality Review Team (CFRT)

The Center coordinates with the same agencies involved in the Child Protection Team, as well as justicies of the peace, EMS, Fire Departments, DPS, First Responders, etc. to look at how and why children die in our service area.

The CFRT seeks to improve the response to child fatalities, provide accurate information on how and why children in our area are dying, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable child deaths by establishing an effective review and standardized system for all child fatalities.
