The President, with Senate approval, appoints a chief to lead the Children's Bureau. The Bureau studies and reports on children's welfare to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. It covers infant deaths, orphanages, juvenile courts, and child labor, but agents cannot enter homes without permission.

The Children's Bureau is led by a chief. The President appoints this chief, but only with the Senate's approval. The Bureau's job is to investigate and report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on anything related to children's welfare and child life, across all groups of people. It focuses especially on infant mortality, the birth rate, orphanages, juvenile courts, desertion, dangerous jobs, accidents and diseases affecting children, child employment, and state and territorial laws that affect children. No official, agent, or representative of the Bureau may enter a house used only as a family home if the head of the family objects. The chief may publish the results of these investigations, but only in the way and to the extent the Secretary allows.
