Thank you for contacting the Children's Commissioner for England. Please
accept this email as confirmation of receipt.  We will endeavour to get
back to you as soon as possible and aim to respond to all general
correspondence within 3 weeks.

Due to the very high volume of correspondence we receive, we are unable to
respond to the following:

-           Emails where the Commissioner is copied into correspondence
with multiple other organisations

-           Private law issues: help can be found at
[1]https://childlawadvice.org.uk/clas/conta... and
[2]https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/for-the-pu...

-           Questions relating to the rights of parents/ adults and not
children or care leavers (requests about the rights of children in care or
care leavers can be sent to the Help at Hand team as described below)

-           Mass campaign emails

If you still wish to contact us, please ensure you have explained
concisely what the problem or request is, including only pertinent facts.
Please do not send long documents or multiple attachments. We will ask for
further information from you if we need it.

Please note that all emails we send and receive will be kept in accordance
with our [3]Data Protection Policy. This sets out your rights, how your
information will be used, and how we will look after it.

For children and young people in care, leaving care, living away from home
or working with children's services only:

We have an advice team called Help at Hand for these children and young
people. Help at Hand will also consider urgent child protection issues and
refer onwards as appropriate.

The Help at Hand Team can be reached by free phone on 0800 528 0731 or at
[4][email address] and is staffed from 9am to 5pm
Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays).
