Purpose of the consultation
The Children, Young People and Education Committee held an inquiry to scrutinise the Welsh Government’s progress in delivering its Programme for Government Commitment to ‘explore radical reform of current services for children looked after and care leavers’.
The aim of our inquiry is to set out top line priorities for
policy areas where change is needed and which would make the biggest difference
to the lives of children and young people.
We are considering priorities for radical reform in the following three stages of the care system:
>>>>
>>>Before care: Safely reducing the number of children in the care system
>>>In care: Quality services and support for children in care
>>>After care: On-going support when young people leave care
<<<
Please refer to the inquiry page for further information and up-to-date information on the inquiry.
