Information on the Office of the Child Advocate
The OCA provides independent oversight of state services for children in order to ensure that children receive appropriate, timely and quality services, with a particular focus on ensuring that the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable and at-risk children have the opportunity to thrive. Through collaboration with public and private stakeholders, the OCA identifies gaps in state services and recommends improvements in policy and practice. The OCA also serves as a resource for families who are receiving, or are eligible to receive, services from the Commonwealth. As part of that mission, the OCA collects and analyzes data and makes recommendations to legislators and professionals to improve these services through our annual report, special project reports and investigations of individual cases regarding children receiving state services.
