In line with our department goals, the Office of Client Advocacy (OCA) protects children residing outside of a home through investigations, protects vulnerable adults receiving community services through advocacy and investigations, and ensures foster parents and children served by Child Welfare Services have a voice through the grievance process and are free from retaliation or harassment.

More than 700 permanent advocacy cases serve former residents of Hissom, Northern Oklahoma Resource Center in Enid (NORCE) and Southern Oklahoma Resource Center (SORC). Those facilities served individuals with intellectual disabilities who have since transitioned to living in the community.
