Dear Mr Russell and Mrs Frier-Russell Thank you for your email of 10 September addressed to Minister of State for Schools about your campaign regarding current school uniform guidelines. As I am sure you can appreciate ministers receive a large amount of correspondence and cannot always respond personally. I have therefore been asked to reply. The department thanks you for taking the time and trouble to write to us on this important issue, which we know is a great concern to you and others. Thank you for your request of support for your campaign and for highlighting your campaign to the department. However, I should explain that government ministers and officials are not in a position to comment on or endorse individual campaigns as they must remain impartial. I note from your correspondence that you have already approached individuals with regards to your campaign. It may be worthwhile bringing this to the attention of individual schools and local authorities who may wish to take this further with you. Thank you for contacting the department. Your correspondence has been allocated reference number 2015-0040837. If you need to respond to us, please visit: http://www.education.gov.uk/contactus and quote your reference number. As part of our commitment to improving the service we provide to our customers, we are interested in hearing your views and would welcome your comments via our website at: http://www.education.gov.uk/pctsurvey. Yours sincerely Janelle Mottley Ministerial and Public Communications Division
