Children's Commisioner for Wales : Comisiynydd Plant Cymru

The Children's Commissioner's principal aim is to safeguard and promote the rights and welfare of children in Wales.

The Children's Commissioner for Wales is independent of the Welsh Assembly and UK
government.

The Commissioner works with children and young people up to the age of 18 but he can
also act in relation to older young people under certain circumstances – e.g. if they have been looked after.

Among the services offered by the Commissioner's team is an Advice and Support service providing, information and advice to children and young people (or those acting on their behalf) where other systems or procedures have failed to safeguard and promote their
rights and welfare.
