Cabarrus County Partnership for Children <br />Henry-Nordan Building <br />102 L~I~~ Concord Road <br /> Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Mr. Charles C. Harris, Chief <br />Children' Services Section <br />Division of Social Services <br />325 N. Salisbury Street <br />Raleigh, NC 27603 <br /> <br />June 15, 2000 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harris: <br /> <br />I am submitting a grant from the Cabarrus Community Child Protection Team for the CCPT Opportunity Grant. <br />The Cabarms team has been a consistently strong team since 1991, with a history of meeting monthly from the <br />beginning and maintaining records of all meetings. The team has been a community model of interdiscplinary <br />activity. A core group of members have been involved and active since the beginning, and we have added members <br />as needed to maintain wide community representation. After five years of leadership from within Social Services, <br />the team has now been led for four years by a member from another organization. We have reported regularly to <br />the County Commissioners, and I am including copies of the last four reports. <br /> <br />We have organized and led two Children's Vigils, in October 1998 and April 2000, to honor the memories of <br />children in North Carolina and Cabarms County who have died as a result of child abuse. Both received extensive <br />publicity from the media, enabling us to reach a large audience with information about mandatory reporting and <br />child protection. Some members met for two days with Debra McHenry from your office in May, 2000, to carry <br />out a child fatality review. We have prepared the written report and planned the CCPT meeting on August 23 at <br />which all agencies involved in any way with the investigation will be present. Ms. McHeury can attest to the <br />strength of the Cabarrus team and the collaborative way in which it has done its work. <br /> <br />We have participated in other advocacy activities, supported the work of other teams in regards to support of <br />legislation and played a major role in the establishment of the Children's Advocacy Center, a multi-disciplinary <br />center for the medical evaluation and investigation of child physical or sexual abuse. We have been actively <br />involved in the activities planned by the Cabarrus Partnership for Children (Smart Start), several of which have <br />strong child protection focuses. <br /> <br />The grant is very important to our county, as it will allow us to plan and carry out a community campaign for infant <br />safety, a project that our team has identified a great need, especially in the light of the two infant deaths in Cabarms <br />County in September and October, 1999. <br /> <br />We appreciate the support from the Division of Social Services and the opportunity to submit this application! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Anne Laukaitis, Chair <br />Cabarms Community Child Protection Team <br /> <br /> <br />
