The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA or Agency) annually reviews child fatalities of families known to the Agency within 5 years of the child’s death. These reviews provide CFSA with an open forum to consider strategies that may help reduce preventable deaths, particularly if a fatality resulted from neglect or abuse, or when a child’s family was involved with the child welfare system at the time of death. The 18th Annual Child Fatality Review (CFR) Report (2022 Report) presents the trends, data analyses, and collective practice recommendations identified for 49 reviews presented by CFSA’s CFR Unit to the CFSA Internal CFR (ICFR) Committee during calendar year (CY) 2022.
