Writing your evidence:

Your submission should:

• Be concise - if it’s over 3,000 words you should include a short summary as well.

• Include an introduction to you or your organisation and your reason for submitting evidence.

Your submission should not have been published anywhere already. This includes blogs, newspaper articles, websites, and journals, for example.

Submission timeframe:

Submissions will be accepted from 5pm on 17th November 2025 to 5pm on 30th May 2026.

Uploading your evidence:

The file you upload should:

• Be less than 10MB

If you need help to send us your evidence:

We want everyone’s voice to be heard in this Commission.

Please contact us if you are finding it difficult to send your evidence online.

What happens to your evidence:

Your evidence will usually be published online. We will read your evidence and use it to help the Commission’s work. The Commission can also use or quote from your evidence in its report, which will be published on this website.

Please note:

• If your evidence is published, it stays public forever. This means that other people will be able to see and read what you send us. Your name, or your organisation’s name, will usually be published too. 

• The Commission does not have to accept your evidence or publish what you send us. We will email you to let you know what is happening to your evidence. 

• In certain circumstances you can ask us to keep your details anonymous or your submission confidential. For example, you might do this if your evidence contains very personal information about you or your family. You can make this request if necessary when you upload your evidence.
