Community Child Protection Teams

The Community Child Protection Team (CCPT) is a group of community representatives who promote a community-wide approach to the problem of child abuse and neglect. Local teams identify and respond to gaps in the county’s prevention/protection response, maximizing the use of limited resources.

CCPT Tasks

• Review active cases in which abuse, neglect, or dependency is found and that are:
  
  • selected from categories defined by the team
  • brought for review at the specific request of a team member
  • brought for review at the initiative of the director of the department of social services
• Review fatalities, including:
  
  • fatalities suspected to have resulted from child abuse, neglect or dependency
  • fatalities where the child or the child's family had received child welfare services within 12 months of the child's death
• Report to the Board of County Commissioners and the community about the status of families in the community
• Create an Annual CCPT End of the Year Report
• Develop effective recruitment strategies for engaging citizens in the CCPT
