Child Fatality Review Team

Child Fatality Review Team was established in Maryland by Senate Bill 464 of 1999. The portion of the law relevant to Child Fatality Review Team is contained in the Maryland Code in Article Health-General, Title 5, Subtitle 7. The law requires that each County establish a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency team review of individual cases of child deaths. The ultimate purpose of the review process is to understand the circumstances around those deaths and to influence policies and programs to improve child health, safety and protection, and to prevent future child deaths.

MEETINGS

The Baltimore County Child Fatality Review Team schedules meetings on the last Tuesday of every month from 9 to 11 a.m.

Important note: Due to the confidential nature of the individual child death reviews, the portion of the meeting designated for the purpose of case reviews will be closed to the public. Scheduled meetings may be canceled due to inclement weather or if no new referrals for case review have been received during the month.
