ZERO TO THREE Guide to Implementing the Safe Babies Court Team Approach

ZERO TO THREE believes that even though all court jurisdictions and the communities they serve are unique, they all struggle with the same issue –improving outcomes for children and families. To address this need, ZERO TO THREE designed the Safe Babies Court Team (SBCT) approach. Since 2005, we have served well over 1,000 children and families using the SBCT approach.

To reach even more children and families, we have created the ZERO TO THREE Guide to Implementing the Safe Babies Court Team Approach. This 12-component strategy describes best practices systems can customize and implement based on their unique needs.

Find out more about Safe Babies Court Teams.

The Guide:

• Supports and recommends a collaborative and customized approach
• Focuses on collaboration with families whose young children are in foster care and across child-serving systems
• Is a community organizing tool for improving our response to maltreatment of infants and toddlers
• Advances the health, safety, and well-being of children and families
• Includes forms, checklists, and real-life stories to provide practical steps and examples
