About personal case advocacy
Unfortunately, we don't have the resources or mandate to do personal case advocacy. We do not give legal advice. We do talk in general terms and give information on children's rights issues.
We appreciate discussing and hearing about certain cases of interest for the purposes of gaining a better understanding of your circumstances and how government policy or laws affect you and your family. This also assists us to provide better information on our website which is more meaningful and complete.
You should consult your own lawyer for legal advice. S/he will review all the facts of your case and can give you legal advice and a legal opinion. See our "Disclaimer" and "Terms of Use" web pages.
By Mail
By Voice Telephone
Long Distance calls from the public:
We return long distance calls to individuals collect. You can accept the call, get a call back phone number and then phone back a few minutes later on your more inexpensive long distance service or an inexpensive long distance calling card. If you have notified your telephone company that you do not accept collect calls, the telephone call back to you will be rejected and you will not receive a call back.Long Distance calls from the media:
We do have a telephone budget for returning long distance calls to members of the Canadian media.
Not by Fax:
We do not receive fax transmissions. We do not own a fax machine. Any facsimile transmissions sent to our volunteers, addressed to us, for the purpose of communication with us, are automatically destroyed without reading.
This is our policy because of past communication problems that we have experienced with the large number of parents involved with the 120,000 children across Canada, at any given time, that are in care of the governments. Personal case advocacy is not part of our mandate.
By Email
Regarding emails
We only respond to emails from people that provide their complete contact information and as our correspondence volunteers' time permits.If you are under 18 years of age, you should consult your parent(s) or guardian(s) before giving out ANY information to ANY website over the Internet, even to us. For your protection, your parent may advise you to provide only your first name initial and last name, city and province without street addresses, postal codes or phone numbers. The same goes for filling in the form below.
Emails are like postcards sent over the internet and your information can be read by others. Even stating your grade in school may too much information because it will tell your approximate age.
Most of the information that we have on a subject matter is provided on our website and can be downloaded to assist you with class assignments.
Some information on this site may be more appropriate for an age group other that yours, so discuss this website and its contents with your parent(s) or guardian(s).
We received large quantities of emails every week.
