The Mission of the NH Office of the Child Advocate
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the Carsey School of Public Policy will host Moira O'Neill, Ph.D., Director of the Office of the Child Advocate, for its monthly Coffee & Conversations discussion. Dr. O'Neill will discuss The Mission of the NH Office of the Child Advocate.
Dr. O’Neill heads one of New Hampshire’s newest state agencies, the Office of the Child Advocate, which focuses on reforming the state’s child welfare system. During her talk, she’ll talk about the mission and role of this agency and the importance of independent oversight of government agencies as a means towards more transparency and accountability in the delivery of quality state services.
The Office of the Child Advocate was established in 2018 as part of an aggressive commitment to reform New Hampshire’s child welfare system. The agency is an independent and impartial state office established to oversee the Division for Children, Youth and Families.
Join us on Feb. 12, 8:15 – 9:30 a.m., at the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law, Room 204.
Carsey’s partners in Coffee & Conversations include the State of NH Bureau of Education and Training and the NH Association of Certified Public Managers.
