Madison County Child Fatality Review 2023
The Madison County Child Fatality Review (CFR) Committee meets annually to review the deaths of children under the age of 18 who were residents of Madison County. The CFR Committee identifies trends and gaps in community systems for system improvement and make recommendations in policy and practice to prevent similar deaths from occurring in the future. The Madison County CFR Committee not only makes recommendations, but tasks local agencies, who serve our children, with changing policies and practices within their agencies that would reduce the incidence of death and improve the health and wellness of Madison County’s children. The CFR serves to educate the public and community leaders about the cause and preventability of childhood deaths to spark changes in community systems to better identify risk factors, service gaps, and prevention strategies.
