Child Death Review Team

 

Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Ashland County Child Death Review Team (CDRT) to review the causes and circumstances of the death or significant preventable injury of any child up to the age of 21 (youth) within Ashland County.

 

The objective of this inquiry is not to assess fault but rather to establish causative factors and to suggest ways in which caretakers, medical professionals and all organizations and agencies serving children, work together for the prevention of serious childhood injuries and improve their responses to the needs of our children. Activities of the CDRT are intended to enhance inter agency collaboration.
