The Court Teams strategy is to improve outcomes for infants, toddlers and their families involved in the child welfare system to reduce or prevent future court involvement. Through its implementation, informed local communities can strengthen the support and care for young children and their families in the Juvenile Court system. This is accomplished through training, shared planning and regular consultation of those agencies working with a child and family. The Court Team may recommend and refer the child and family for services but does not directly provide these services.
