Children and Young People: Rights to Action

In Wales – A Better Country the Assembly Government set out our vision of a fairer, more prosperous, healthier and better-educated country.

We want to make sure that children and future generations enjoy better prospects in life, and are not landed with a legacy of problems bequeathed by us.

The children and young people who make up almost one quarter of the population of Wales are our future. We aim to support all children and young people to achieve their potential. We are committed to assisting children and young people who are disadvantaged, for example through disability, poverty, family and community circumstances, illness, neglect or abuse. They need particular help if we are to improve opportunities for them.
