BCAP considers that everyone who is interested in the consultation should see the consultation responses. We shall publish all non-confidential responses on our website, www.cap.org.uk, usually within three months of the end of the consultation.
All comments will be treated as non-confidential unless you state that all or a specified part of your response is confidential and should not be disclosed. If you reply by e-mail or fax, unless you include a specific statement to the contrary in your response, the presumption of non-confidentiality will override any confidentiality disclaimer generated by your organisation’s IT system or included as a general statement on your fax cover sheet.

If part of a response is confidential, please put that in a separate annex so that non-confidential parts may be published with your identity. Confidential responses will be included in any statistical summary of numbers of comments received.
