Children s Authority director Nichola Harvey-Mitchell - NATALIE MILES
The adage, “It takes a village to raise a child” is something the director of the Children’s Authority is hoping to achieve over the next three years to ensure the protection of children.
Nichola Harvey-Mitchell, 50, took up her role in March last year and has big plans for the organisation, from reform and self-sustainability to legislative changes.
Harvey-Mitchell, who has been an advocate for children in her personal life, told Sunday Newsday she intended to fully explore the rights of a child and ensure they were being properly enforced.
The organisation, she said, was developing its strategic plan, which showed the need to be more efficient and responsive.
