The MDT TAC has chosen to focus on elder abuse case review MDTs due to their direct impact on the lives of abuse victims. Case review MDTs work collaboratively to investigate and prosecute cases, and to ensure victims receive the services they need to recover from abuse. Through regular, face-to-face meetings MDT case review teams discuss cases, share information, and develop a plan for moving each case forward.
