Policy Council
The Children in Wales Policy Council was established in 2005. It brings together cross sector representation from each category of the membership of Children in Wales to identify issues, concerns and priorities affecting the children, young people and families sector. Reporting to the Trustee Board, the Policy Council advises on policies, priorities and the work programmes of Children in Wales.
The Policy Council is comprised of up to 21 representatives elected by a ballot of Children in Wales’ members, up to 10 representatives appointed from organisations with a specific interest or responsibility in relation to services for children, and a number of observers. All members of the Trustee Board are automatically members of the Policy Council.
