In its statutory role as advocate for services to children in Massachusetts, the Office for Children coordinates such services in privately funded and particularly public programs, evaluating and monitoring programs in departments and agencies within the Executive Office of Human Services and other executive offices (MGLA c 28A, s 4). Through FY1991 the office's advocacy unit in its Help for Children Program provided comprehensive information, referral, and advocacy services to assure children appropriate social, health, or financial support, administered on a community basis through ca. 43 area offices. These offices, supported by volunteer area-based councils for children, were grouped under ca. six regional offices, which continue to be responsible for the Office for Children's regulation of day care and substitute care providers. Series was created to administer regional director responsibilities, including chairing meetings with regional office staff and also with corresponding regional administrators from other state human services agencies (regional administrators' or coordinated services committees).
