Education Minister Fayval Williams has given directives for full separation of the Child Protection and Family Services Agency ,(CPFSA) from Jamaica Relief Ministries, JRM following the investigations by the Office of the Children’s Advocate,(OCA).
Children’s Advocate Diahann Gordon Harrison is lauding the efforts of the Education Minister.
The OCA confirms that JRM is an entity closely linked with embracing orphans, the principals know each other and they were traditionally partnered with each other on projects which target children in Jamaica.
The minister also notes a Cabinet submission is being prepared to seek approval to amend the laws to transition the CPFSA from being an executive agency guided by an advisory board that can only provide non-binding advice to management of the CPFSA to an entity with a board of directors that can provide stronger governance.
