Child Advocacy Update

Submission Guidelines

The Child Advocacy Update is a project of the Children's Alliance of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Child Advocacy Network. The Update is a forum for information and invites submissions via e-mail from NH CAN partners to the NH CAN Coordinator.

During the legislative session the Update is published and disseminated weekly via email. During the rest of the year, the Update is published approximately every other week via email.

NH CAN partners are invited to send relevant updates for inclusion in the Child Advocacy Update. This may be news of changes in leadership, receipt of a major award or grant, addition of a significant new programming, progress of a project or legislation, etc.

The Children’s Alliance shall maintain sole responsibility for determining what items are included in the Update. All information contained in the Update must be nonpartisan, credible, and timely.
