Child Protection Team. Florida Statute 39.303 mandates the existence of Child Protection Teams to provide assistance and consultation to the Dept. of Children & Families and Law Enforcement in cases of suspected child abuse and neglect by a caregiver.  CPT provides a multi-disciplinary approach in the detection of child abuse and neglect. The Team is comprised of the Medical Director, Team Coordinator and Case Coordinators. Program services include: forensic medical evaluations and interviews, case reviews, social histories, referrals and training. These services are also available through the CPT non-caregiver component in cases where abuse is suspected by a stranger, neighbor, friend, juvenile or anyone who is not in a child caretaker role. 

The Supervised Visitation Program provides trained volunteer facilitators to supervise and monitor court-ordered contact between parents and children.
