Welcome to the Ombudsman Website

The Office of the Child Welfare Ombudsman is now closed as we transition to the new Office of the Child Advocate. If you have a case open for review we are still reviewing the case and all of the information from any contact we have had with you has moved with us.

If you have a complaint or concern please email us at ombudsman@cwombudsman.org. You may also call 207-213-4773 though this number has been in and out of service in recent weeks. If this number does not work, please email or call 207-271-6496. Please check back for new contact information.

Thank you for your patience during this transition period.

The Ombudsman cannot respond to emergencies. If you are concerned about the safety of a child, please call the child abuse hotline, 1-800-452-1999.
