Child Fatality Review Boards

Child Fatality Review Boards (CFRBs) are interdisciplinary groups that examine the circumstances surrounding child deaths to identify patterns and prevent future tragedies. Composed of professionals from health, law enforcement, social services, and education, these boards analyze cases to understand risk factors, service gaps, and systemic issues. Their work aims to improve child safety and support measures by making recommendations for policy changes, community programs, and resources, ultimately striving to reduce the incidence of child fatalities and enhance protective services for vulnerable populations.
