The Alliance is working in collaboration with the Department of Health Services, the State Department of Justice and the Department of Children and Families to establish a statewide fetal infant mortality and child death review program. The Alliance works with local death review teams in order to gather information on risk factors and circumstances surrounding a child’s death. This information is then used by the state Child Death Review Council and used to identify trends, influence public policy, and improve prevention efforts and other deaths.

Child death review teams
Local child death review teams are critical to better understanding how and why a child died. We have statistics on how many children die and from what causes, but often know little about the circumstances leading up to the child’s death. Local child death review teams are created at the discretion of local leaders, operating voluntarily with limited resources. These multidisciplinary teams review and acknowledge all intentional and unintentional child deaths from a prevention standpoint. The Alliance is committed to providing technical assistance, training, and mini-grants to current and new local teams. Contact the Alliance for assistance.

Child death review team guidelines
Keeping Kids Alive in Wisconsin - A useful guidebook based on the national Child Death Review (CDR) model that provides information on setting up a CDR team, conducting reviews, brainstorming prevention ideas and much more.

Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR)
Local FIMR teams are an action-oriented, community process leading to improvement in health and other family services and resources like CDR teams. FIMR focuses on understanding the risk factors and circumstances surrounding a fetal or infant death. The Alliance is committed to providing training to FIMR teams.
