"Within Our Reach: A National Strategy to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities" is the final report of the Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, as mandated by the Protect Our Kids Act of 2012. This report discusses the Commission’s findings and presents both a comprehensive national strategy for fundamental reform and recommendations specific to populations in need of special attention, including children currently known to child protective services agencies and at high risk for fatality, American Indian/Alaska Native children, and African American children. The report includes recommendations for actions by the executive branch, Congress, and states and counties that the Commission believes will be most effective in ending these tragic deaths, today and into the future.

Legislators and policymakers at the State and Federal-level, plus advocates, researchers, and academics may be interested in these findings.  Additionally, college students pursuing coursework in Social Work, Sociology, Native American and African American Studies, and children's health and psychotherapy programs may find these findings and recommendations helpful.

Recenzii

Testimonial #1:
"The Family First Actaims to reduce the reliance on group homes and redirect funds to support evidence based time limited interventions to keep at risk families together,” saidSenator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. “That the Commission found consensus on this bipartisan, common-sense initiative is welcome news. I look forward to continuing our work together to ensure we get this proposal enacted into law.”


 


 

Testimonial #2:
“This report highlights the heartbreaking frequency of preventable child deaths, tragedies that Congress simply cannot continue to sweep aside,”Sen. Ron Wyden, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committeesaid. “I’m grateful for the commissioners’ work and especially pleased the Commission supports the Family First Act, draft legislation that Chairman Hatch and I have been working on to keep vulnerable families safely together.”
 

Testimonial #3:
“Far too many children die each year from abuse and neglect. As Chairman of the Congressional subcommittee overseeing the nation’s child welfare system, I’m focused on finding ways to better protect children from harm,” saidRep. Vern Buchanan, Chairman of the House Ways and MeansCommittee.The Commission’s report provides valuable information on how we can work to reduce these tragedies based on solutions from communities across the country, including from my own community in Hillsborough County, Florida. I commend the Commission for their thorough analysis of the problem as well as their thoughtful recommendations on ways we might address it, and I look forward to working with federal, state, and local leaders to improve the way we work together to keep kids safe."
 

Testimonial #4:
“The report provides a modest map to prevent child abuse, but we need the political drive to steer these changes into law and avoid lurching from one tragedy to another,” saidRep. Lloyd Doggett, Ranking Member of the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Human Resources and author of the legislation creating the Commission.  “With more state and federal leadership, we should provide the resources to build better coordinated partnerships that give vulnerable children hope. I am especially pleased by the unanimous recommendation to reauthorize the successful home visiting effort to empower young parents and know that we must also continue to explore new initiatives.” 
 

Notă biografică

The Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities (CECANF) was established by the Protect Our Kids Act of 2012 with 12 members, to develop a national strategy and recommendations for reducing fatalities across the country resulting from child abuse and neglect. The legislation mandated that the Commission submit a report to the President and Congress on these issues. In developing the national strategy and recommendations, the Commission engaged a broad community of stakeholders, including holding 10 public meetings with states and localities around the country, a research round table, and a tribal-focused meeting to hear testimony on what is working, where state and local areas are having challenges, and to learn from the experts.
