 Massachusetts Governor Executive Order 494: Establishing the Office of
the Child Advocate
The Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) was
established to create an independent office to investigate child welfare
services; its operations and investigations will be fully independent of
the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The OCA
is charged with investigating serious allegations of child abuse and
monitoring child-serving agencies. The child advocate will report
annually to the governor, the secretary of health and human services, the
house speaker and senate president with recommendations about how the
state can improve services to children
