New Hampshire Office of the Child Advocate – 2019
The mission of the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) is to provide independent and impartial oversight of the New Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), the state agency responsible for child welfare and juvenile justice services, and to promote effective reforms to assure that the best interests of children are being protected. The OCA has independent access to all DCYF records that are not otherwise available to the public. This allows the office to objectively review and investigate concerns, and to make informed recommendations.
