Ultimately, the goal is to develop strategies to prevent early mortality by making recommendations which further the coordination of services identifying dangers to children in or outside the home.
The panel is empowered to investigate the complete scope of reasons for childhood deaths ranging from domestic violence to any of a full gamut of other causes.
