During this virtual interactive session, we will discuss what we have learned from 2023 child fatality/near fatality cases that can provide insight to help us with our current practice. We will discuss the age group that we see the highest rate of fatalities. We will review key points such as assessment focused interviews, follow up interviews, thorough and ongoing-safety assessments, etc. that need to be address in all investigations. We will also discuss best practices that should be used in CPS investigations. Lastly, we will discuss activities for case closures.
