Per statute, the State Review Team reviews the aggregated data and recommendations submitted by all of the local teams to identify recommendations to prevent child deaths in Colorado, including policy recommendations. The recommendations for prevention from the State Review Team and local team discussions, as well as trends and patterns of child deaths, are compiled at the end of each data year and discussed by the full State Review Team. On an annual basis, the CFPS prioritizes policy and practice recommendations to prevent child fatalities and submits the recommendations to the Governor and the Colorado General Assembly in an annual legislative report. To read reports from previous years, and learn more about the State Review Team please visit: www.cochildfatalityprevention.com/p/reports.html. Members participate in workgroups and subcommittees that meet on a monthly or quarterly basis. For more information about these groups: www.cochildfatalityprevention.com/p/state-review-team- membership.html. That State Review Team also reviews cases on an ad hoc/as needed basis when local teams cannot or will not review a case.
