What Do We Do?

Lots of countries have Commissioners and all of them have slightly different jobs, but they all work to make sure that children and young people are safe from harm and that as many people as possible know about children’s rights.

Here are some of the things that Keith and his staff do for Wales’ children and young people:

• Telling everyone, including children and young people, about the Commissioner and about children’s rights
• Meeting with children and young people and listening to what they have to say about issues that affect them
• Talking to children and young people about the Commissioner’s work, what else they think he should do and how he should do it
• Looking at the work of organisations like councils and health trusts to see if they are thinking about children’s rights
• Telling people who can make a difference what children and young people think is important and how to improve things
• Giving advice and information to children and adults who contact the Commissioner's team.
