They distributed a copy of the 2019 Colorado Child Fatality Prevention System Annual Legislative Report (Attachment B) and explained that the 2019 joint recommendation from the two child fatality systems is to support policies that support access to quality, affordable child care especially for infants and young children. The presenters stated that studies show that access to affordable, quality child care prevents child deaths, child abuse, and neglect. They answered questions from the members and talked about the need to get information to Family, Friends, and Neighbor (FFN) networks on nutrition and infant safe sleep habits, and the need for further research regarding child fatality by firearms. They discussed including information about safe storage for firearms during child welfare training and home visits. The commission took a brief recess.
