X143 - 571 established a statewide <br /> multidisciplinary, multiagency, child fatality prevention system consisting of the State <br /> Child Fatality Prevention Team(CFPT) and local teams specifically established in G.S. <br /> t 143 - 576.1. These local teams are the Community Child Protection Team, established <br /> by Executive Order and then continued by General Statute and the Child Fatality <br /> Prevention Team which was required to go into operation in each county by July 1995. <br /> G.S. t 143 - 576 not only defines the creation of the teams, but also outlines the duties and <br /> composition of both local teams and requires that they submit annual reports to the Board <br /> of County Commissioners. <br />
