Findings and recommendations from internal reviews following death or serious injuries of a child receiving intervention services.

Overview

Children’s Services internally reviews every death or serious injury of a child receiving intervention services. As part of this work, the department will conduct designated reviews when needed to provide new findings and recommendations that can further improve the system.
