dc.description.abstractThis report,Steps Forward: First Progress Report on Within Our Reach, the Final Report of the Federal Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, is the first assessment of progress made in implementing the recommendations of the federal Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities (CECANF), and it identifies a groundswell of recent reforms in child welfare practices across the country. Steps Forward, published by the Within Our Reach office at the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities and the Children’s Advocacy Institute (CAI) at the University of San Diego School of Law found dozens of changes in policy and law directly reflecting the recommendations put forth by the Commission in a comprehensive March 2016 report presented to Congress. This report has three goals: To increase visibility and emphasize the continued urgency of the issue of child abuse and neglect fatalities, the findings and recommendations of CECANF, and the need for community, state and federal action to save lives To recognize and report on results of local, state and national efforts to implement the recommendations of CECANF To build on the groundswell of implementation activities represented here to spur the next phase of fatality prevention efforts among all stakeholders, knowing that the prevention of fatalities will require public will, peer learning and collective actionen_US
