Sustaining Impact for the Long-Term with Child Safety Forward

<p>How does a collaborative effort start planting the foundation for sustainability early on? </p><p>In this podcast episode, we learn about the work of <strong>Child Safety Forward</strong>, a four-year demonstration initiative that engaged five sites across the U.S. in research, planning, and implementation around place-based strategies aimed at reducing child injury and fatality from abuse and neglect. The initiative, funded by the Department of Justice (DOJ) was launched in October 2019 by the DOJ’s Office for Victims of Crime.<br /><br />With the project now closing, we talk with folks from Child Safety Forward to learn what factors were most helpful in building their initial collaborative efforts, and what set the demonstration sites up to continue the work after this funding ended. </p><p>Joining this discussion are:</p><ul><li><strong>Jasmine Brosnan</strong>, Evaluation Program Manager, The Child Abuse Prevention Center</li><li><strong>Romero Davis</strong>, Director of Practice Excellence, Social Current</li><li><strong>Stacy Phillips</strong>, Victim Justice Program Manager, Office for Victims of Crime – United States Department of Justice</li></ul><p><strong>References and Footnotes</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.social-current.org/engage/child-safety-forward/">Child Safety Forward</a></li><li><a href="https://www.social-current.org/reports/child-safety-forward-implementation-study-final-report/">Child Safety Forward Implementation Study Final Report</a></li><li><a href="https://www.social-current.org/2023/11/utilizing-collective-impact-to-reduce-child-abuse-and-neglect-fatalities/">Utilizing Collective Impact to Reduce Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thecapcenter.org/">The Child Abuse Prevention Center</a>|</li><li><a href="https://www.social-current.org/">Social Current</a></li><li>Podcast: <a href="https://collectiveimpactforum.org/resource/the-power-of-parent-engagement/">The Power of Parent Engagement</a></li></ul><p><strong>More on Collective Impact<
