Work submitted by children under the age of 13 years
Anyone can submit work to the Library, but we can only display the names of children under 13 with the explicit consent of their parents or carers. In order to facilitate this, a parent or carer must email us at [email protected] giving their permission for the name of the child to be attributed to the work. If work is being submitted by a school or group, the school must demonstrate that they have obtained permission from the parents or carers to submit the work and have the child’s name attributed to it.
How long will my information be stored for?
Your work will appear on the Library for up to 5 years. We may refresh the site at any time, which may mean removing some older work. Once the work is removed, all other contact details will be deleted at the same time. You may still request your work and details to be deleted at any time.
