SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: CECANF was established to develop a national strategy 
and recommendations for reducing fatalities resulting from child abuse 
and neglect.
    Agenda: On February 26, 2015, Commission members will meet to hear 
testimony from four panels of presenters. The first panel will focus on 
service delivery models under way in the Pacific Northwest region that 
are promising in the prevention of fatalities to children not known to 
the child welfare system. During the second panel, Commission members 
will hear testimony on workforce issues that influence performance and 
successful strategies for addressing these issues. JooYeun Chang, 
Associate Commissioner of the Children's Bureau, will talk with 
Commissioners about the status and effectiveness of key federal 
policies aimed at protecting children at risk of harm. She will provide 
critical information regarding successful strategies that are being 
used by states, tribes, and localities that demonstrate reduced child 
abuse and neglect fatalities to children known to child welfare. In the 
fourth panel, Commissioners will learn about the legal framework that 
supports or limits government's ability to intervene on behalf of 
children in the family context. Commission members will then continue 
discussing the work plans of the six Commission subcommittees, the 
information that they have obtained to date, and emerging high-level 
recommendations.
