The Coalition for Child Safety will mobilize the community and
work cooperatively to provide the children and families of our
community with an environment that is safe, supportive, and responsive.
Community,
as defined by the Coalition for Child Safety, is understood to
encompass the individuals, families, neighborhoods, schools,
businesses, civic groups, volunteers, faith groups, and service
systems that exist and interact within the City of Independence,
and uniquely shape both the identity of our city and
the quality of life for each resident.
Objectives:

the community’s awareness of child safety issues,
especially child abuse.
- Provide opportunities for the community to become involved
in child safety issues.
- Review and identify financial resources for programs that
work with child abuse issues.
- Work with law enforcement, governmental entities, agencies
and organizations for systemic improvement. Improve the linkage
of communication between service providers.
- Provide education to the community regarding child abuse
and child abuse prevention resources.
- Review child abuse and child neglect case data and information
for appropriate community action. Assess problems and identify
solutions related to child abuse and neglect.
