North Carolina’s Child Fatality Prevention System
The Child Fatality Task Force, the State Child Fatality Prevention Team, and the Local Child Fatality Prevention Teams
The Purpose of the North Carolina Child Fatality Prevention System is to promote understanding of the causes of child deaths, identify deficiencies in the service delivery to children and families by public agencies, and to assess, recommend and implement systems for changes that will prevent future child deaths.
North Carolina’s three-tier child fatality prevention system involves representatives from diverse disciplines and local/state government – including the Office of the Governor and members of the General Assembly. These representatives review child deaths and study ways to prevent child fatalities. Successes include the Graduated Driver’s License law, and expanded funding for the Maternal Outreach Worker program.
