Safe Babies Court is a new initiative in South Carolina that is an evidenced-based approach for serving children and families between the ages of 0-3 who are involved with the child welfare court system. A core component of the initiative is judicial and child welfare leadership with a focus on building a trauma-informed court system through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion when engaging with these families.
