The Children's Commissioner for England is a government office based in London, England, focused on safeguarding children's rights and improving life chances by listening to their experiences and turning insights into action. Since its appointment in 2021, Dame Rachel de Souza leads the office, directing broad engagement with children and families, including The Big Ask, a nationwide survey conducted in 2021 that gathered responses from hundreds of thousands of children.

Its work is organized around priorities identified by children, such as family, school, health, and care, and it runs a support service for children in care and leaving care to provide free guidance and information, along with a platform for teenagers in care to share their experiences. The office is guided by an advisory group, an audit and risk committee, and a network of children's groups and stakeholders. In 2026, a partnership with government departments supported the creation of a new advisory group consisting of young people, reflecting ongoing efforts to widen youth involvement in governance.
